I am A-MAZED that it only took me about 4 minutes to renew my drivers license. As many do, I…read moreabsolutely DREAD this task and put it off until the very last minute. That all changed with my latest trip to the new DPS MEGA drivers license center! Not only was I able to hold my place in from a computer (just a few clicks and I was virtually waiting), but after I registered I immediately got a text saying my wait time was only about 5 minutes...not even enough time to drive to the physical location! With a simple text reply I was able to put myself back in queue via my phone. Once at the office, the process was smooth from beginning to end. A greeter showed me how to watch/listen for my number being called (last 4 of my cell number) and he also was helpful in finding the correct station once it was my turn. That may sound silly, but there are at least 50 manned stations working at once so I actually needed help finding #9. The representative was pleasant, worked quickly, and had me out of there in no-time. Weird to say, but this was actually an enjoyable experience! The one downfall is that you can't hold your place in line using their website on a smart phone - I had to initially register from my computer at home. After that, all is done through text until you get to the center. WAY TO GO STATE OF TEXAS & DPS!

I had to renew my drivers license in person this year. I made an appointment online. They send you…read morea link to check in once you arrive. I went on Wednesday at 3 PM and it wasn't very busy. It took about 20 to 30 minutes to get called once I checked in. The process is pretty smooth. There's plenty of seating in the lobby and the announcements are clear and occur often. Parking is available on site. I got my appointment within a week of making it.

I just moved here, and i dreaded going to the DMV, from my previous state, it's always been a long,…read morewaiting nightmare to get anything done. I tried mapping the tax office, but it kept giving me the south address and i needed the north. I was frustrated already. But this place popped up, and i thought I'd give it a try. Easy to find, right off the street, lots of parking, I walked in and it was empty. A very nice woman greeted me and sat me down. We went all over my paperwork ( i pre-filled out before coming in) i gave her all my information and i kid you not, 20 minutes later, i had my plates, sticker and registration papers in my hand. (it took longer because we spoke a bit) I asked her if the license office was close by, and she highlighted a paper for me with the address that was 17 minutes away (the address i had was 45 minutes away!!) I paid what i needed too (3% extra for using a card) and i was on my way. It was SO simple, fast and easy. She said she was glad i chose to come here, because the tax office i originally was going to did not help out filling out paperwork and took a very long time. I'm glad i went here, I recommend it. I'm now a Texan! woo!

Great experience. I was selling my truck and needed to transfer the title. I did not want to go…read moredowntown to a government office, fighting the traffic and parking. I've driven past this place many times and didn't even know it was there. We showed up with the buyer and after a short wait were helped by a very kind lady who guided us through the process. Pretty painless.

# I Brought My Entire Life to the DPS. They Needed Two Things. 10/10…read more - NOTE CROSS POSTED ON GOOGLE a I have not lost my driver's license in 25 years. Last week? Happened. We're not talking about it. We're moving forward. I'm currently laid off and job hunting, so a valid ID is not optional. Because I didn't have my audit number, I couldn't renew online -- I had to go in person. To the DPS. Voluntarily. Now, I'm a policy nerd. Terms and conditions are my bedtime reading. So you'd THINK decoding exactly what documents I needed would be easy. It was not. By the time I was done, I walked into that office with: my birth certificate, Social Security card AND the receipt for requesting it, my lease, my high school diploma, college transcripts, degree, graduation photos, and my college ID. **I am 45 years old. I brought my academic career as a character witness for my own existence.** Here's the thing though -- the staff at South General McMullen did not need any of that energy from me because THEY had it handled. The office was organized, efficient, and genuinely warm. People were greeted at the door, directed immediately, and when someone got frustrated about a missing document, staff stepped in calmly and gave them a real next step. No chaos. No attitude. Just competence with a smile. I waited about an hour and 20 minutes for my number. Once called? Window in 5 minutes, done in another 5. They also accept Apple Pay (saved my life -- lost my wallet too, it was a week), there are outlets near the entrance for charging your phone, and if you opt in for text reminders you can check in 30 minutes early from your phone. Also: they may already have your documents on file from your Real ID. Ask before you panic. You might not need the graduation photos. The DPS is one of the few places in America where every age, background, and tax bracket ends up in the same room. It's actually a beautiful little snapshot of community -- and this staff keeps it running beautifully. Huge thank you to everyone at this location. Y'all are awesome, efficient, and lowkey hilarious. The banter alone made the wait worth it. *-- A woman who showed up with her transcripts and left with a glow-up ID photo. No notes.*

Very very rude service I came in for an appointment at 8:00 it's my first time and when I tell you…read moreeveryone there looked soo mad and was being so rude to people . Then my mom needed help printing so they asked her to send it to Gmail and of course my mom asked for help and the lady specifically said " your daughter should know how to do it ask her" like what kinda customer services is that ???

I recently visited this DMV to have my Hawaii drivers license transferred to a Texas one. I admit I…read morewas looooong overdue (at least here in Texas you are required to transfer your license within 90 days). Covid hit shortly after I moved & life was turned upside down for everyone. Now that I've once again moved (this time from Houston to SA), I decided I had to just get it over with. This office is currently operating by APPOINTMENT ONLY. I was able to easily schedule online back in March but the wait was a month long. Hopefully it's gotten better since then. When you arrive, you will submit to a screening (sanitize your hands, temperature taken & the guard asks a few simple questions like whether you have any symptoms or were exposed to someone with Covid recently). There are self check-in tablets available & then you'll have a seat until your number is called. I printed & filled out my application form at home & also used the online check in option that was provided in my appointment confirmation email.

Everyone here is so nice??? I set up an appointment for 9:40, they had my name called by 9:43 (good…read morething I showed up early to fill out my application to renew)! I also overheard a woman bending over backwards to help a poor kid in trouble with his driver's test. I'm SO impressed!
