Relating to the ability of persons licensed to drive in Texas to renew license by electronic means.
This bill allows Texas drivers to renew their licenses electronically (via internet, phone, or mail) through rules created by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It specifically prohibits electronic renewal for individuals required to register under Chapter 62 (sex offender registry) and for drivers aged 79 or older. However, it mandates electronic renewal access for active-duty military personnel (and their spouses/dependents) stationed outside Texas, as well as all drivers under age 79. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, enabling the department to implement these electronic renewal options with defined eligibility rules.
