Texas has been issuing REAL ID-compliant licenses and ID cards since October 2016. To determine if a Texas driver license is REAL ID-compliant, look for the cutout of a gold star in the upper right-hand corner of the license.
“The Texas Department of Public Safety wants to assure Texans that they have multiple options to receive a REAL ID-compliant card if they do not already have one. We are reaching out to all of our customers whose cards expire after October 2020 to let them know whether they can renew early or request a duplicate to become compliant by the October 1, 2020 deadline,” said Skylor Hearn, deputy director, Texas Department of Public Safety. “Customers who have yet to receive their letter can see if they are eligible to take advantage of one of these two options by visiting Texas.gov today. If your card expires before October 2020, don’t worry. You will get a REAL ID the next time you renew.” here
