Independent help for Texas plates and a Texas license

Make It Official in One Visit.

The exact paperwork you need for both the County Tax Office and DPS — done in the right order so you don't do it twice.

New to Texas? StateStride guides you through it: register the car, gather two printed proofs, then book DPS.

STEP 01 • YOUR CAR

Form 130-U

County First, DPS Second

You can't get a Texas license until your car is registered. We get your vehicle forms and inspection sorted first so DPS doesn't turn you away.

Where: County Tax Office

STEP 02 • RESIDENCY

2 Proofs Needed

Two DPS Residency Proofs

DPS requires two distinct printed documents with your Texas street address. Check what you already have — a power connection letter can fill a gap in a day.

Bring: 2 printed documents

STEP 03 • YOUR LICENSE

90-Day Deadline

Beat the 60-Day DPS Backlog

Appointments book out 1 to 2 months across Texas. Book your DPS slot today so you finish your license transfer within the state's 90-day window.

Where: DPS driver license office
