    Yes, there is a hardship form for teens to obtain a driver's license in certain circumstances. In Texas it's called the Minor Parental Request for a Hardship Driver License form. It allows a teen to apply for a hardship license if they meet specific eligibility criteria, such as needing to drive due to family hardship or medical necessity. You can obtain this form and get more information from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) website or by visiting a local DPS office.

    In Texas you cannot change your driver's license photo online. To update your photo, you must visit a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) driver license office in person. Bring your current driver's license, fill out an application for a replacement license, pay the required fee, and have a new photo taken at the office. Check the Texas DPS website or contact them directly for specific instructions and to confirm what documents and fees are required for this process.

    To change your out-of-state driver's license to a Texas driver's license, begin by establishing residency in Texas with proof like a lease or utility bill. Then visit a Texas Department of Public Safety driver license office. Bring your current out-of-state license, proof of identity, Social Security card, and proof of Texas residency. Complete an application form, pass any required tests (like vision or knowledge), pay the fees, and upon completion you'll receive your Texas driver's license.
