Appendix B: Driver License Offices Texas Driver Handbook Appendix B: Driver License Offices
Full-time (FT) driver license offices are open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some offices offer extended hours and a few offices routinely close during the noon hour. In addition, some offices offer online scheduling. To see if an office near you offers online scheduling, visit our website at www.dps.texas.gov/DriverLicense and schedule an appointment. Scheduled Driver License Offices Scheduled (S) driver license offices are usually staffed with only one customer service representative. Depending on the location, the customer service representative is required to be away from the office part of the day while conducting driving tests and other DPS business. Mega Center Offices Mega Centers (MC) are full-time driver license offices but offer additional alternatives to waiting in line for a driver license or ID card. Mega Centers are staffed by at least 25 employees, can process up to 1,000 customers per day, and have plenty of parking. With over 20 automated testing stations, more than 400 customers can take a knowledge test each day. Mega Centers also provide customers the option to get in line using a text-enabled cell phone (restricted or blocked cell phone numbers will not work). Once customers are in line, the system will send text alerts informing them of when their spot in line approaches. * Information regarding driver license offices is current at the time of printing. For the most up-to-date information on any driver license office, including specific hours of operation and closures due to weather or facility issues, visit our website at www.dps.texas.gov/DriverLicense 79
