rbdaves Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have already tried to post this question, but it seems to have disappeared, so here goes again Due to my age, I am no longer able to renew my driver's license online or by mail and have to show up in person at a Texas DMV location. I have questions as to what I should do to prepare. Will there be a driving test? Will there be a written test? Where might I find Texas state laws that I need to know in order to pass a test? We are going to El Paso in late Feb. Is it necessary or advisable to make an appointment? If I just show up at an El Paso DMV should I expect a long wait? Thanks in advance.

2gypsies Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 According to this site you'll need to complete the renewal application, vision test, update photo, verify SSN, identity and citizenship. There are links to more info on these topics. We did ours at the far NW office - got there early and a reasonable amount of wait. https://www.dps.texas.gov/DriverLicense/renewal.htm Full-timed for 16 YearsTraveled 8 yr in a 2004 Newmar Dutch Star 40' Motorhome and 8 yr in a 33' Travel Supreme 5th Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbaraok Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 If you have any eye problems (like retinal problems) you can get the form online and take it to your ophthalmologist and have it filled out indicating the limits of correction have been reached. We do that for Dave, makes it easier since he has only partial vision in one eye that can't be determined using the little 'test' machines they have.
