Since we can't ride without a license, or shouldn't anyway, I thought it appropriate to share that the State has sent me a letter stating that I can't get a new driver's license without first showing either a birth certificate or current passport. I may also need to show my social security card. Apparently this reflects a change in Texas procedure in 2016 to become compliant with the 2005 Real ID act.
The last time I updated my license was a quick few minutes at the Columbus location.I'm expecting a siege this time. I stopped by the week before Christmas and they were sending people back to get paperwork. Normally I offer all my paperwork at once, but I may try to see if they will accept a Global Entry card as proof, since my passport is 120 miles away locked in a drawer at my office. If they ask, then I'll pull out the Birth Certificate.
Anyway, I'll report back with any additional insight that may make getting a license renewed easier.
