Texas Driver's License Renewal: Saturday appointments now available

Article

DALLAS – Do you need to renew your driver's license and don't want to drive two to three hours to make an appointment before the end of the year? Maybe you'll be lucky.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is opening several driver's license offices in North Texas and across the state on Saturdays in October.

Appointments are now available on October 12th and 26th from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Garland, South Dallas, Fort Worth, Lake Worth, Carrollton and Denton offices.

The appointments are aimed at people who need to renew or replace their driver's license or ID card.

Depending on your location, some appointments for new drivers and new IDs may also be permitted.

Texas DPS said it also opened driver's license offices on Saturdays in September and those appointments filled up quickly.

But about 30% of those people didn't show up and didn't cancel their appointment.

The department strongly encourages people to cancel if their plans change so that others can use the service.
