Driver's Licenses in Tarrant County Are a DPS Matter
New driver's licenses and renewals in Tarrant County are handled by Texas DPS — not the county Tax Office.
The Tarrant County Tax Office does not issue driver's licenses. For a new license or a renewal, you need to go to a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office. Call DPS at 817-294-1075 to find the nearest location in Tarrant County.
People sometimes go to the wrong office. The county Tax Office handles vehicle registration and title transfers — not licenses. DPS handles licenses — not registration. The two offices do different jobs. Knowing which one you need saves you a trip. You can also check dps.texas.gov to schedule an appointment online.
