Welcome to the forum.Stever wrote:I am yet another Brit who has relocated to the best part of the world and hold a Perminent Resident's card. I have taken a CHL test and would now like to apply for the licence but the DPS qualifications say I need to show 5 years worth of addresses. Does this mean I need to reside in Texas for 5 years before applying?
You do not have to live in Texas 5 years, but need to show the locations you have lived over the past 5 years. If you were in the UK prior to coming here, then list your legal addresses there. Make sure not to leave any gaps in employment or address dates.
