Disabled Veterans Can Get a Free Driver's License for Life in Texas
Here is what you need
You must meet all of the requirements for a Texas driver's license including identification requirements, vehicle registration and insurance requirements, passing written, driving and vision examinations and consenting to being photographed and fingerprinted.
Identification
You must meet the identification requirements of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).The Texas DMV accepts three types of identification: Primary, Secondary and Supporting Identification. You may need to provide one or more pieces of identification including your current driver's license, social security card, birth certificate, military ID or passport. There are many other documents that can be used as identification and are defined on the Texas DMV Identification Requirements webpage.
Proof of Eligibility
You will need a signed (front and back) copy of the Texas Department of Public Safety Veterans Disability Certification Form DL49. It is available online or at any Texas DMV office. This form can be taken to any VA office for signature that can verify your VA status and award level. You should take your VA award letter with you to the DMV with the Disability Certification Form. Although it is not actually required, it is supporting documentation and supporting identification.
Texas Veteran's Commission
The state of Texas offers many benefits to military veterans and disabled veterans. These benefits are not always easily found, as they are not part of the Department of Veteran Affairs. The Texas Veterans Commission was founded in 1927 to assist Texas Veterans, their families and their survivors in obtaining both VA benefits and state benefits they have earned through their service to their country.
