Common Texas Class C fees

DPS lists $33 for a new Class A, B or C driver license for ages 18 through 84. For an applicant under 18, a new driver license is $16 and expires on the 18th birthday. A new under-18 learner license is also listed at $16.

A replacement driver license is currently $11. DPS notes that the displayed amounts include its administrative fee except where the page says otherwise.

Age changes the fee and expiration

Texas does not use one price and validity period for every age. Applicants 85 or older have a separate fee and shorter validity, while under-18 credentials expire at the 18th birthday.

Check the live DPS table before paying

Use the DPS fee page close to your application date rather than relying on a screenshot or saved handbook. Fee schedules can change before the study content does.
