The Lone Star State's Department of Public Safety (DPS) is a busy place. Texans rely on them for everything from driver's licenses to vehicle registrations. But with so many people needing their services, it can be tough to get an appointment.
So, is Texas DPS still by appointment only?
The short answer is: it depends.
Here's what you need to know:
- Driver's License Appointments: Yes, driver's license appointments are still required. You can make an appointment online or by phone.
- Vehicle Registration Appointments: No, vehicle registration appointments are no longer required. You can now register your vehicle in person without an appointment.
- Other Services: Appointments may still be required for some other services, such as getting a concealed carry permit.
A Few Tips for Getting an Appointment:
- Make your appointment as soon as possible. Appointments can fill up quickly, so it's best to book yours as soon as you know you need one.
- Be flexible with your appointment time. If you can't get an appointment at your preferred time, be willing to consider other options.
- Check the DPS website for updates. The DPS website has the most up-to-date information on appointment requirements.
I hope this helps!
And remember, even if you have to wait for an appointment, it's worth it to get your driver's license or register your vehicle.
After all, you don't want to get pulled over and find out that your license is expired.
Or worse, get a ticket for driving an unregistered vehicle.
So, be patient, make your appointment, and get it done!
Now, go forth and conquer the Texas DPS!
P.S. If you're really struggling to get an appointment, you can always try calling the DPS office directly. They may be able to help you find an opening.
But be prepared to wait on hold.
A lot.
Good luck!
I believe in you!
