Yes, this was my very first renewal, so I had to go in person. Next time I can renew online and save some time.Mike1951 wrote:You can renew online EVERY OTHER time. The OP's comment about "I was out of there for 12 years!!" indicates this was his required in person renewal and that he is aware of not needing to renew in person next time.RoyGBiv wrote:You know you can renew your DL online, right?
I did mine online last year. Took me zero time.
I won't mind this as much, it'll be better then 10 hours. Plus I'll get to do some shooting, which always makes things better!tacticool wrote:Wait until it's time to renew your CHL. You'll be sitting around for four hours (class) instead of two, and then you have to wait weeks or months for DPS to mail the renewed license to you.
Some of us don't :)tacticool wrote:Wait until it's time to renew your CHL. You'll be sitting around for four hours (class) instead of two, and then you have to wait weeks or months for DPS to mail the renewed license to you.

Just renewed mine for the first time last November. I did it online. I was unaware of the every-other-time thing. But first renewal is doable online.magillapd wrote:Yes, this was my very first renewal, so I had to go in person.

On the south side of DFW, the Cedar Hill DMV ususally moves pretty quickly. I have a CDL and have to go in person each time. The last time total in and out time was about 30 minutes.Reloader wrote:My solution, if you can, is find a DPS office in a small town close by..preferably one with less than 10k people. PILOT POINT AND AUBREY COME TO MIND. Only takes a few minutes. even with drive time, it will be much faster.
