Hello all...

Well, im from Brasil and i have my drivers license expired (it expired 01/01/07) while i was here in Texas, and im planning to go to the DPS next mondey and take the written test... But i have some questions, and i hope you guys can help me..

My AOS is not approved yet, i got already my biometrics, but... nothing else... Should i go or wait till i have everything?

And...

Do i really need to take the driving test or the written test is enough, since i have a drivers license in Brasil?

Thanks guys!!

Out-of-Country Driver License



1) How long can I drive with an out-of-country driver license?

Generally, a person 18 to 75 years of age with a valid out-of-country driver license in their possession may drive a private, non-commercial motor vehicle in the State of Texas for up to one year from date of entry into the United States, if their home country has reciprocity with the U.S. In order to check for reciprocity agreement status, click on Reciprocity In Driver Licensing or you may contact License Issuance at (512) 424-5089 or by e-mail at license.issuance@txdps.state.tx.us. 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.91.

This link will show you what ID you need to have to get the license in Texas. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administratio...equirements.htm

And I am also 100% positive that because the license is expired, you will need to take both the driving and written test.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone!!

Is the driving test hard?
Because in Brasil its...pffff soo easy

We're in TX.
We went to get Mark's license when he got his SS card and they told us he needed his green card first......So he just drove on his Dutch license; but he took the test as soon as his GC came and he said it was straight forward....Multiple choice and not timed.
Get a book from the DPS to study ( they should give you one free). Mark said there was a disproportionate amount of questions on the DUI penalties.

IT'S YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
