Good afternoon, I am a new member located currently in Wichita, Ks

Does anyone have a suggestion where I can register my vehicles and obtain my driver's license in North Texas?

I'm wanting to use the closest location from Wichita, KS Thanks

Welcome to the forums! Happy to have you with us. I am a former Kansan and have family in Wichita area. 

In order to register your vehicles in TX you will need to have an address in the county of registration. For a driver's license, you can use any TX address since it is a state function and not by county but you can't do either of those using an address in Wichita. The DMV office nearest to you would be the one in Gainsville, TX which is on I35 just south of the TX-OK border.

Address: 206 W California St, Gainesville, TX 76240

Hours: 8am - 5pm

Phone: (940) 641-7791

Correct as there is a small county fee and vehicle registrations are by county. You can get a TX driver's license at any of their offices since it is completely a state function. We presently live in a Dallas suburb but when we were on the road we never did renew in Livingston and I moved my license to our Livingston address with just an address change.  Also you can renew a TX driver's license every other time online but the other renewal is in person to get a new picture and the eye test. 

For vehicle registration you need to contact the Polk Co. Treasurer.

Address: 602 E Church St #101, Livingston, TX 77351
