Texas Practice Licensing Process

Within what time must you report an address change to DPS?

  1. A.
    60 days
  2. B.
    10 days
  3. C.
    15 days
  4. D.
    30 days Correct
The Why

The answer is "30 days"

You have 30 days to report an address change to DPS. Choice B pulls from the tighter deadline the state applies to vehicle registration paperwork in the next chapter; readers who saw both deadlines swap them.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. 60 days

Doubles the actual deadline printed in the handbook. This answer stretches to a figure Texas uses for other paperwork but not for address updates.

B. 10 days

Tighter than the thirty-day deadline the handbook prints for address changes. This answer substitutes the vehicle-registration timeline for the driver-license timeline.

C. 15 days

Below the actual thirty-day window DPS gives for reporting a new address. This answer splits the difference toward a shorter figure with no basis in the handbook.
