Texas DMV Sends Licenses to Wrong Addresses

It is estimated that several hundred Texas residents may have received the wrong driver's licenses in the mail due to a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) error. The agency believes that a mail sorting machine problem resulted in the error, which is estimated to have involved fewer than 800 persons. They advise that if anyone gets the wrong drivers license in the mail that they should take it to the nearest DPS office.
