Texas Budget Addresses Long Waits at Driver’s License Centers

(Virtual Drive of Texas)

Austin (WBAP/KLIF) – Those really long lines at driver’s license offices could be a thing of the past … maybe. The issue is back on the table again as state lawmakers address it in a two-year state budget.

The budget keeps DBP driver’s license mega centers in place, but a separate bill would transfer control of licensing to the Department of Motor Vehicles from the DPS.

Also on the table, a pay raise that would give most state workers a nearly 3-percent a year cost-of-living adjustment. There would be bigger raises for a few selected categories.
