So most Texans still do not have a Real ID compliant DL, just the ones who have been issued a DL since late 2016 or 2017. However, for states that meet all the requirements of the Real ID program, the TSA will continued accepting noncompliant DLs until 2020 (I believe), I assume to give everyone a chance to get their card renewed.

I would guess that Texas never intended to make the LTC Rea ID compliant, so TSA has a blanket policy of not accepting them as primary ID.



I sure went through a lot more scrutiny, to get an LTC, than I did a driver's license. :headscratch

I believe they don't take LTCs as ID because they do not meet the Real ID requirements the feds set up. Texas DLs and ID cards do meet Real ID requirements.

If you have lost your ID:
Forgot Your ID?

In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You may be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.

You will not be allowed to enter the security checkpoint if your identity cannot be confirmed, you chose to not provide proper identification or you decline to cooperate with the identity verification process.

Perhaps it was the combination of credit card and LTC and other information that cleared the ID hurdle.
Number 1 on their list, would make LTC compliant. It is a State ID issued by the equivalent of the motor vehicle department. The exact same department that issues, DL, or State ID. The State, recognizes it as a valid ID, and it can even be used for voting in Federal elections.
