So You Moved to Texas, Howdy Partner! But Did You Update Your Driver's License?
Let's face it, moving is a circus. Between packing like a Tetris champion, dodging rogue packing peanuts, and wrestling furniture into the back of your car, it's easy to forget the little things. Like, you know, updating your driver's license address.
But hold your horses (or should we say longhorns?), because forgetting this can be a real bummer in the Lone Star State. Not only is it required by law to update your address within 30 days of moving (sorry, Charlie, no excuses!), but it also ensures you get important stuff like renewal reminders and, most importantly, those sweet jury duty notices (just kidding... mostly).
Now, the question on everyone's mind (well, maybe just yours): how much does this little address switcheroo cost?
Well, partner, buckle up for some good news! Changing your address on your Texas driver's license won't break the bank. It'll only set you back a cool $11. That's less than a fancy latte (or maybe two, depending on your coffee habits).
