Note: I am sometimes asked, "If I change my address, do I have to notify DPS?" The answer is you have 30 days, otherwise if stopped, the officer can issue you a Class C citation. (Of course, if you are polite, which is always a good policy, you might just be issued a warning.)
Also, there are practical reasons why it's a good idea to keep DPS updated.
If someone is a student who still has their parents home address on their driving license rather than their student accomodation address, should they change the address?
If someone haven't updated his Texas ID. And there have been months since he move from the address. Is there any problem if he tries to updated now?
