Practice question

What is the process to obtain a replacement or duplicate driver's license in Texas?

  1. File a police report for theft
  2. Complete a form and pay a fee
  3. Take a driving test again
  4. Schedule an appointment with a DMV officer

Answer: B — Complete a form and pay a fee

To obtain a replacement or duplicate driver's license in Texas, the standard procedure involves completing a specific form and paying the required fee. This process is designed to be straightforward and efficient, allowing individuals to quickly receive a new license if their original has been lost or damaged. Filing a police report for theft is typically necessary only in cases where the license has been stolen. A driving test would not usually be required for a replacement or duplicate license, as the individual already holds a valid license, and retesting is not part of this process. Scheduling an appointment with a DMV officer can help with various transactions, but it is not a mandatory step for obtaining a replacement or duplicate license; most of the time, this can be handled through online services or at a DMV location. Therefore, completing the appropriate form and paying the fee is the most direct and accurate method for obtaining replacement documentation in Texas.
