Texas Driver License.....

[Sunburnt Indian]

Those among us with a Texas driver license has two years to renew a license after the expiration date. My expiration date is April 26. Tomorrow I'm scheduled to meet for renewal at 11:05 AM. Texas renewal is by APPOINTMENT ONLY. I don't qualify for on line because I'm 79 or older and I hold a Class A Commercial Driver License. I just learned I still have two years to renew with no penalty. This note just came with a reminder from the Texas Dept. of Public Safety about tomorrow's appointment.

Unless you get stopped!

If somehow I might happen to miss my appointment tomorrow, it might be a good idea for me to copy my e-mail from the TDPS in case I get stopped.

I had to renew my Tx DL in person this year. The instruction on the website make it sound like a pain in the ass. When I went to the appointment they look at my passport, current DL and called it good. Was in and out in 15 minutes. Then again I was at the Weatherford office and not one of the busier offices.

You also had your passport as a second identifying document. I guarantee that streamlined your validation process.

An illegal alien can get a driver's license easier than an American citizen it seems.

Especially in Kalifornia. I'll take my USAF DD-214 with me. My appointment is at 11:05. TX, OK and UT issues a Driver License. I don't know about Kalifornia. Virginia issues a Driver's License.

My agent said I had 2 years to renew before retesting is required. Law enforcement might ticket me or order me to renew after expiration.

I barley passed vision test. It's about time for me to consider eye glasses. My last serious eye test pegged me at about 20-25. I once was required aid to drive. I could read USA Today. Now reading glasses for USA Today. Aide not required for driving.

Since I'm pre-pre-pre diabetic I get vision tests annually. I was 43 when I first got glasses. My boss looked much older. I could see a crystal sharp sparrow on a tv antenna at Waco Cablevision.

My DD214 says White. I'm about 5/8 White.

I was filmed once by KXXV TV 25 Waco in an interview. I was Olive. Far from white. I've always been various shades when photographed. My Driver License just doesn't look like an actual photo.

I just renewed by on-line mail 3 wks ago, came in mail 10 days ago.
In my mugshot, taken 8 yrs ago (they just re-used it), I look like an ax murderer.

Word to wise: there's a 20-digit number at bottom of license. Write it out in large numerals for future refernce. It's so small 3 digits could fit on a gnat's ass...

I couldn't renew online because I'm CDL and 79+.

Long ago I attended a 6 week school in Abilene to qualify for a TX Class A Commercial Driver Licence.

50 states law requires all to use turn signals when making turns and lane changes. Most US Nationals haven't a clue. Proper turn signal usage requires me to give plenty of notice when I move to pass and cancel my signal AFTER I've lined up in my target lane. Most of the handful of drivers who attempt a signal don't know proper usage.

The biggest cause of death in the US for 1-13 years old? Car crashes.

Why I sold my bike.

My buddy and pals from Berlin watched a driver driving like a US driver pull into a rest area off the Auto Bahn. They beat the hell out of him.

SB, I fell into the same situation last time I had to renew my TX DL. The appointment thing is light years better than taking a ticket and hoping 5:00 doesn't come too soon.

My agent suggested strongly that I make a copy of both my license and the legal language (I cannot remember if it was a statute or not) of the option of utilizing your two-year waiver. Probably wouldn't need it in the big city or the state troopers but there are plenty of small constabularies in the state that would not consider your plea - and some that wouldn't consider even the copy of the law.

Best of luck and I hope you and yours are healthy & happy.
