DPS setting up shop on campus
Staff and students can renew drivers license on campus during a one-day program at the Student Center parking lot Tuesday.

Students and staff can renew their drivers license and identification cards Tuesday instead of waiting in long lines at the Department of Public Safety office. Those interested can go by the DPS Driver’s License Express bus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Student Center visitor parking lot.

The DPS Driver’s License Express bus will also provide first-time applications for ID cards, duplicate drivers license and id cards. Out-of-state licensees may also be transferred for a Texas license.

The program will provide services and renewals not requiring a medical examination.

“Students and staff won’t have to travel all the way to Jacksboro highway or elsewhere,” said Sgt. JC Drake of the TCU police. “It will also help remind students if they have any driver’s license issues that need to get taken care of.”

Some students who have an out-of-state license express interest in changing over to a Texas license. Johanna Cary, a junior business major, said the validity of her Missouri license has been questioned. Changing over to a Texas license would be more convenient, she said.

“I’ve had my Colorado license questioned before so getting a Texas one would just be easier,” said Haely White, a junior radio-TV-film major.

The TCU police department is heading the event for the first time and a large turn out is expected, said Drake who sent a mass e-mail to students and staff Tuesday. The DPS office of Safety Education could not be reached for comment.

“This is convenient because the event is open to all faculty, staff and students on-campus,” Drake said. “I have heard people express interest so it will probably bring in lots of people.”

The renewal fee for a driver license is $24 and ID renewal is $15, duplicate driver license or ID card fee is $10. Cash or personal check are accepted.
