You qualify for this service if you:
- Are a U.S. citizen
- Are not turning 18 within 30 days of your road test
- Have no pending transactions with DPS
- Bring all required documents and your completed DL‑14b form to your Drive2Go appointment

- Once approved, you’ll be able to download your temporary license by logging into http://txt.texas.gov and receive your driver license by mail
Please be aware: After documents are submitted, no refunds can be given, and we won’t be able to communicate with DPS on your behalf.
Note: The $40 fee covers document submission only. DPS may still require an in-person visit if additional verification is needed.
