You can use your military experience and training to meet the requirements for a Texas occupational licence. If your licence, or your spouse’s, expired while you were on active duty, you get two extra years to renew, no late renewal fees, an expedited renewal and a waiver of the examination requirement. Out-of-state licences you already hold are processed on an expedited basis, and military spouses get help transferring a licence from another state and expedited handling of new licence applications.
Contact the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation military programs office for the licence you hold or want, and tell them you are a service member, veteran or military spouse.
Your DD214 or military ID, records of the military training and experience you want credited, your marriage certificate if you are applying as a spouse, and your out-of-state licence if you hold one.
