Drivers license renewal woes
Back in October, I tried to renew my DL as it expires at the end of this month (1/31). When I went online, it said I had to do it person. Annoying, but I haven’t been in person for a renewal in well over a decade, so I guess I get it. When I tried to make an appointment, the earliest date was February 19th all the way up in Georgetown. I end up taking the appointment out of desperation.
Fast forward to today, I figured I would try and see if some last minute availability popped up. Turns out, it seems like I can’t even look at other available times without cancelling my existing appointment first? This makes zero sense to me and I’m just wondering if there’s some other way for me to see availability?
I know Texas no longer has a grace period for expired DL’s, and I figure the police won’t give a shit if I’m pulled over and show them that I have an appointment scheduled. I would like to visit my family during those 19 days and would prefer to drive without the anxiety of getting pulled over with an expired DL.
TLDR - Is there a way for me to see available appointment times for DL renewal without canceling my existing appointment? Has anyone had any luck just showing up first thing in the morning? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
