Re: Information contained on Texas Driver's License?

HOw do you mean "only harvest names and addresses"

translating from computer geekese to regular english: The reader hardware will load ALL the information contained in the card into memory, transferring the ENTIRE contents of the card into software, then the software application will look at that ENTIRE thing, and pull out the bits it wants.

If you're custom developing an application, you can develop it so that it only saves the information you want to disk.

Developing an application that'll dump names and addresses from a license into a file would probably be pretty easy if I can get access to the hardware, I could probably do it in an afternoon or two.

Plenty of restaurants will read the magstripe of your license to comply with the crazy Texas laws on Alcohol, so I'm sure you can find something that'll do what you want.
