What is the cost to renew a driver's license in Texas?

I got carded to buy some beer the other day and I realized that my driver’s license is set to expire in about four months. I hate waiting until the last minute, so I thought I’d take care of it right away. Because Texas licenses last eight years, I can’t remember how much it costs. What’s the cost to renew my driver’s license in Texas?

Eight years is a long time to remember almost anything, let alone a one-time fee! The cost to renew your driver’s license in
Texas
is $33 for anyone under age 85. Texas residents older than 85 only have to pay $9 for a renewal.
To renew your license in person, you must book an appointment online or by calling the Department of Public Safety office of your choice. Walk-ins are not accepted for license services.
Alternatively, you can your license by:
  • Mail (this will only work if the State of Texas sends you an official renewal form that states you can renew by mail)
  • Telephone by calling 1-866-DLRENEW (1-866-357-3639)
  • Online by setting up a Texas by Texas account here:
