Free Drivers License!
As of May 2012, drivers license fees for certain youth and young adults in foster care have been waived.
Senate Bill 218 waives driver license fees for youth in DFPS temporary or permanent managing conservatorship and for young adults aged 18-20 who reside in a DFPS paid foster care placement.
