Can I convert my Canadian driver's license to a Texas driver's license?

Question

I have recently relocated to Houston, Texas in the US from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I currently hold a valid Canadian driver's license that is valid for up to 5 years. I was wondering whether it was possible for me to exchange my Canadian driver's license for a Texas driver's license without having to re-take the knowledge/road test. I would really appreciate a prompt reply!

Answer 1

it's not an exchange nor a conversion.  but having another DL will facilitate getting a new one as you have experience driving.  You'll have to take the test because it's not assumed that the laws are the same everywhere.

Answer 2

no you can not you must go through the knowledge and driving tests in the united states before they can issue your new license
