SB 2809 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the expiration date of certain driver's licenses.

SB 2809 would adjust expiration timelines for Texas driver's licenses. For citizens, legal residents, refugees, and asylees, original licenses would expire after 8 years (reducing the prior 10-year term) from the application date. For non-citizens without legal permanent resident status, licenses would expire after 6 years (instead of 10) or when their U.S. immigration status expires, whichever comes first. This change primarily affects non-citizens by requiring more frequent renewal tied to immigration status, while standardizing expiration periods for other license holders.
