If you are a resident of another state but hold a Texas driver's license, what should you do?

If you are a resident of another state but hold a Texas driver's license, the appropriate action is to return the Texas license and obtain a new one in your state. This approach is essential because maintaining a driver’s license from a state where you no longer reside can lead to legal complications. Each state has its own driver's license regulations, and most require that you obtain a local license within a specific timeframe after establishing residency.

Returning the Texas license ensures that you are complying with both Texas law and the laws of your new state of residence. By obtaining a new license in your current state, you are also ensuring that you have the correct identification and that your driving record reflects your current residency. This process is important for maintaining accurate records and for your safety, as it ensures that you are familiar with local traffic laws and regulations.
