(October 9, 2008)—People who are not U.S. citizens must now prove they are living legally in the country before receiving or renewing a Texas driver's license or identification card.
Under the new administrative rule, the Department of Public Safety will require immigration documents that prove a person's lawful status.
The face of the card also will sport a new look, making it easily distinguishable.
DPS will include the designation "Temporary Visitor" and the date that the person's status expires.
To receive a duplicate or renewal identification or driver's license, the person must show the immigration status has been extended or updated, DPS said.
DPS says U.S. citizens do not have to provide documentation.
Applicants who have permission to be in the U.S. for less than six months as well as those who have entered the country illegally will not be eligible for a driver’s license or identification card.
Those who have overstayed their visas without permission will not be eligible for renewal.

Ok--Let's do this by the numbers. 12 million ILLEGAL immigrants. Average taxes taken out of ones check is around let's say $1100.00 a year. Take 12 mil and multiply the $1100 and you'll understand why we are in debt over how many trillions of dollars?????!!!!!!!
i wish they would send all of us mexicans back to mexico. i wounder who will do all the work here in the US. who is going to cut the yards not complain about the heat. work in restaurants. work in housekeeping. and the most important work in construcion in the cold and hot weather because shurly it is not going to be a white or african american. RIGHT!!!! we are here to work not for anything else. and even thow there are some mexicans that come and make mistakes that doesn't mean that all of us are like that. that also goes for whites and african americans that make mistakes.so we shouldn't point fingers. also one more thing i think there shouldn't be anyone asking for money out in the streets.this people have legal documents they should get a job.
Your all are right there are some illegal immigrants that come here and cause trouble, but there are others that come here to try to live the American dream. The question is are we even legal? No we came in and over took someone elses land and claimed it. Mexicans aren't the only people in this country that are here illegally. We have Asians, Germans, people from India that come here on work visa's and decide to stay. The fact of the matter is we live so close to Mexico that we don't open our eyes and look at the big picture. I'm not saying let them in to our country, but I'm asking to look at the big picture. They are everywhere and their not just Mexican.
