The cost to renew a Texas driver's license depends primarily on your age:
- For drivers aged 18 to 84, the renewal fee is $33 for an eight-year renewal period. This fee includes a $1 administrative fee
- For drivers aged 85 and older, the renewal fee is $9 for a two-year renewal period, also including the $1 administrative fee
- For drivers under 18 (provisional license), the renewal fee is $16, expiring on their 18th birthday
- Renewal fees for commercial driver's licenses (CDL) and other specialized licenses vary and are generally higher
These fees apply whether you renew online, by mail, or in person
. Note that the $1 administrative fee is not charged for renewals conducted by mail
. In summary, the standard renewal fee for most adult Texas drivers (18-84) is $33, and for seniors 85+, it is $9.
