What should you do if you need to change your address on your Texas driver's license?

In Texas, if you move and need to change your address on your driver's license, it is necessary to obtain a replacement or duplicate license that reflects your new address. This process ensures that your driver's license remains valid and up to date with your current information, which is important for identification and legal requirements.

When you change your address, it is not sufficient to simply wait until your license is up for renewal, as having an accurate address on your driver's license is mandated by state law. Also, notifying local police departments or going to the DMV without an appointment does not directly address the need to update the address on your license. Obtaining a replacement license is the correct step to ensure that your address is properly recorded and can help in various situations, such as when driving or traveling.
