Does Texas honor active duty military licenses after expiration?
Texas honors active duty military members (spouses and dependents are excluded) driver licenses even after expiration. Texas supplies a LI-9 card to carry in addition to your expired license showing proof of validity. However, after the second year of expiration your record may purge from our active record files. If this occurs it will be necessary to reestablish your record and a new license number will be issued. 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.33, Texas Transportation Code 521.028.
