    Mikey, here's a helpful tip about TX Driver's License. Get your car registered first, at the Tax Assessor office. Then go get your DL. The TX Department of Public Safety (DMV) will require a TX registration for your car in order to get a DL. (Or you can lie and tell them to you don't have a car.) Lastly, the day after getting your car registered, expect a lot of robocalls about renewing your car's warranty. Start screening your calls.
