All Texas driver's license offices closed down

1. An important point to add:

Those who didn't qualify to renew their licenses online or by mail, or forgot and planned to go into DPS to renew before expiration, will now have the expiration "forgiven" until further notice. Most people don't need to go in as long as they haven't let their license expire for two years, although this is not always true. I didn't notice that my license had passed its expiration date. It was only a few days after my birthday when realized, wait a minute...

I double-checked the year, just in case, and saw that my license had just expired. Even though they said you had to go in if it were two years or more, the website wouldn't let me renew, so I had to go to DPS, the bastards.

So the policy is always hit and miss in Texas, because this state can't do anything right. Still, it's worth a try to try renewing online, or to call DPS to see if they can work with you on it to get an up-to-date license.
