Texas launches new way to upgrade driver’s licenses, renew boat registrations
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas by Texas (TxT), the state’s official digital assistant, launched new services Tuesday.
On TxT, people can now upgrade from a learner license to a provisional driver license, as well as link and manage boats, which would allow for the renewal of boat registrations, ordering additional ID cards, and replacing lost registration decals or ID cards.
The driver’s license upgrade is offered in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the boat registration renewal is offered in collaboration with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
"Since TxT’s public launch in 2022, more than 10.8 million Texans have created their TxT account and embraced the ease and convenience that TxT offers," said Amanda Crawford, DIR executive director and State of Texas chief information officer.
TxT also offers driver’s license/ID renewal, vehicle registration renewal, and massage therapy and instructor license renewal.
“In alignment with our mission to deliver effective, efficient digital government for the State, we’re excited to continue bringing even more agencies and services onto the TxT platform,” Crawford said.
