How often should you renew your Texas driver's license?

In Texas, the standard renewal period for a driver's license is every six years. This timeframe is established to ensure that the information on the driver's license remains up to date, including the photograph and any pertinent personal information, as well as to enhance roadway safety by requiring periodic verification of a driver's capability to operate a vehicle.

Renewal every six years helps both the individual driver maintain their driving privileges and the state keep records current. This approach balances convenience for drivers with the need for regulatory oversight related to driving safety.

While certain circumstances, such as age or specific classifications of licenses, may have different renewal frequencies, the six-year standard applies to most Texas drivers.
