In Texas, replacing your lost or stolen driver's license is fairly simple. Fill out an application form for a new license and submit it in person to your local department of motor vehicles (DMV) office, with proper ID and a processing fee. If you are replacing your driver's license because of a change of address, visit the Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License Division's website to apply for a new card.
