Re: Information contained on Texas Driver's License?

Charles - the old driver's licenses with the magnetic strip are being replaced with the Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) which contains and RFID chip just like the new passports. This RFID chip is supposed to contain the same information as your passport to comply with the "Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative".
These RFID's continuously transmit - so I encourage anyone with the new style driver's license (they look quite different from the old version) to purchase those sleeves or wallets which block transmission of the RFID signal unless you need/want it read.
