DRIVER LICENSE RENEWAL WITH EAD RECEIPT NOTICE
Has any one in the DFW had luck renewing their drivers license with their EAD receipt notice? I submitted my renewal 10 months ago and now my drivers license is expired without my work permit being approved.
I’m not sure what to do at this point.

you will still be able to renew your license but it’s not going to be a real ID. only for drivers privilege card. not sure if you can fly with domestically. check with your local DMV

@Roumanatou Mossi I just need to be able to drive, I’m not planning to travel.

then you should be able to renew with or without a valid EAD.

I tried in Dallas in 2016 and they refused to accept it. I got ticketed twice but was able to dismiss them at the court after explaining the situation to the prosecutor.

In Texas, they are so strict about it and wouldn't issue a renewal without the actual card or a renewal approval notice.

If you get pulled over, explain your situation to the officer. If you get ticketed, fight it in court and explain your situation to the prosecutor. Be careful and drive safely, don't get pulled over for speeding.

so I went in for the renewal today, they said they have to reach out to USCIS to verify my status, so I will be waiting for them to reach out back to me.
