The DPS posted on X it has been forced to close its Driver License Offices (DLOs) across Texas due to the technical issues.

However, the DPS’ IT team is working on resolving and while there is no estimate on when the offices will reopen, Texas residents are encouraged to monitor the DPS’ social media page and website for updates.

This is a developing story and will continue to be updated as more information becomes available.
