My TX DL says red hair.
When the USAF brought me to Texas in 1998 I had already made up my mind to stay, and there was still that 6-month wait for CHLs required for new residents. I scurried down the DPS office to get my DL so I could register to vote, establish residence etc. I had an old DL from Indiana that used an even older picture on it, but my hair had already
matured considerably in the mean time. The gal at the counter filled in my form for me, I guess directly to the computer, and she asked me my hair color:
I said "Distinguished." She didn't even crack a smile, just flicked an eye at me and typed in "Gray." Those license branch people have no sense of compassion or humor at all.
ETA: I just noticed my latest DL doesn't list hair color at all. Just height and eye color. My LTC does ("Gry", thank you pitiless DPS clerks), but not the DL. Huh.
That is SOOOOO funny you guys! Thanks for the laugh!
