Here are some reasons why it is not legal to have both a Texas driver's license and an identification card:
* It can lead to identity theft. If a person has both a driver's license and an identification card, it is possible for someone to steal one of the documents and use it to commit identity theft.
* It can be confusing for law enforcement. If a law enforcement officer stops a person who has both a driver's license and an identification card, it can be confusing to determine which document is valid. This can lead to unnecessary delays and inconvenience for the driver.
* It is a violation of Texas law. Having both a Texas driver's license and an identification card is a violation of Section 521.033 of the Texas Transportation Code. This law states that a person can only have one form of identification issued by DPS.
If you have both a Texas driver's license and an identification card, you should surrender one of them to DPS. You can do this by visiting a DPS office or by mailing your identification card to DPS.
