Wife and I are from Texas working oilfields of West Africa since 2003. We kept our home in Texas as it is being lived in by our adult son who is attending multiple post graduate schools. So we still own our home in Texas and have a permanent address.

I have thought about how we might could keep our CHL/LTC's and Drivers License's if we sold our home in Texas? Not sure if you can get rent a address to use ? Kind of like a mail delivery box or something else that is legal? We are interested in what the options are.

As far as carrying your LTC and Drivers license with you overseas.......We normally only come home to Texas a couple of months per year.

After I left my drivers license in our quarters in Nigeria a few years ago ....I had to get a replacement Drivers License when I got to Texas and realized I had left it in Africa - we decided to get government issued ID cards.

My wife I now leave our Drivers license and CHL/LTS's in our safe in Texas and have ID cards issued by state of Texas that we take with us overseas.

I would also advise you to take at least 2 Credit Cards and tell the Credit Card companies you are working and living international because they will likely hold some orders to get confirmation from you. We like this and we regularly communicate with the credit card companies to let them know when we are traveling and to expect activity on the account.

Again, we are interested in what the legal options for having address in Texas so you can keep your LTC and Drivers license are - if any?

Thanks, gamboolman & gamboolgal...
