What an incredible visit to the DPS Mega Center! Yes, you're hearing me correctly, I had an awesome…read moreexperience. This center knows how to do handle crowds and their needs. There are lots of staff roaming through the waiting room answering questions and ensuring everyone has the correct paperwork filled out correctly. I was there for a renewal of my driver's license. This time around I had to take a driving test. I hadn't had a driving test for over 6 decades. The need for a driving test was due to my left leg amputation. The state had to ensure that I was safely able to control my vehicle. My number was finally called and I "scootered" back to the kiosk to meet the representative that would be helping me. Nicole, my representative, was AWESOME. She was so helpful. Nicole also administered my driving test. Troupers no longer do this. She was very through delivering instructions during my test. I had practiced my parallel parking the evening before. Heck, I hadn't paralleled parked in ages. To sum up my story, I passed my driving test with flying colors and experienced exceptional service from Nicole and all the other personnel who were so helpful.

If you come here please do NOT get ANY ASSISTANCE from Gloria. Not very polite. Rude and rushes…read moreyou. If you don't hurry up she gives you 3 min and reschedules. Makes me wonder what was the purpose of making appointment. Even after trying to confirm if she received documents my email she didn't wait and kept talking to others and assisting her coworkers with questions instead of the customers.

Moving from California, I was impressed by the speed at which I was able to get my car registration…read moreand title handled by the Tarrant County Office. Unfortunately, the DPS is an entirely different experience. Both offices may provide the necessary documents for operating a vehicle in Texas, but the speed of service is worlds apart. The problem is not with the efficiency of the workers themselves; the problem is with the number of workers. DPS needs to open more offices or greatly increase the number of windows open at each office. There is simply too much demand for the supply. Yes, the employees operating the line inside and outside are bitchy. But who can blame them? They're out there day in and day out dealing with crowds of people who don't want to be there, who are inpatient, rude, and unmerciful toward the employees. Their employer offers them no hope of improvement - no light at the end of the tunnel where they'll hire 50 new workers to meet the demand, reduce the stress, and relieve them of their burden. This is their life. Every day. Dealing with this line, these people, this work environment. Of course they're bitchy! Outside of increasing the number of service windows, my suggested improvements would be to allow people to make appointments days or weeks in advance (California DMV does this), to increase the size of the waiting room so more people can be seated indoors, to install some sort of shade structure for those waiting outdoors in the heat or rain, to make more services available online or at AAA, and to remove the "no food inside" rule. There's a good number of kids that get dragged to the DMV, and it's unreasonable to remove snacks as a distraction while they wait for so long. In case it helps, I tried for days to make a same day appointment online and there were never any appointments available. I showed up on a Friday at 10am but the line was literally around the building so I drove home. Today I showed up at 7:30 and I was probably the fiftieth person in line. I got in the building a little after 8 and was out the door by 9am. I did discover that you can get a same day appointment if you go to their website at 7am ON THE DOT, but I decided to just show up and wait. All in all, an hour and a half isn't the worst wait I've had at a DMV before. This may be Texas, the land of deregulation and limited government, but it's still the DMV guys.

Not many people have a great experience here but let me tell you we were one of the few that had…read moreamazing, quick and friendly service. We went on a Friday morning got there around 7:25, someone came in line about 7:40 split the lines asks what we were there for. We just needed to do a License renewal, and they took about 20 people and we were seriously out before 8:25. So we were lucky I guess but the checkout person was nice, and super helpful.
