Present proof of Identity and Social Security Number. 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.24, 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.42, Texas Transportation Code 521.044.

Complete and submit the DL-77 MRDL application for screening of eligibility to your local Texas Driver License office.

Obtain Parental Authorization Signature (parent must be present to sign.) 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.27.

Complete required forms available at your Texas Driver License office.

Application must include photograph and thumbprints; however, thumbprints are not included on the driver license. 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.44, 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.45, Texas Transportation Code 521.142.



* Applicant must provide vehicle.



NOTE: Driver Education certificate may be required.

Added:  the form is here http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/ftp/forms/d... but the only reasons for getting a hardship license are death in the family,  illness, or being enrolled in a vocational rehab school, not because mom gets an occasional panic attack and dad works.

READ THIS NOTICE: The Department may issue a driver license to any minor who satisfies the requirements if the

Department finds that (1) the failure or refusal to issue such license to any such minor will work an unusual economic

hardship on the FAMILY of the applicant for the license, (2) the license should be granted to the minor because of

the sickness or illness of members of the family of the applicant, or (3) a license should be granted to the minor

because he is regularly enrolled in a vocational education program and requires a driver license to pursue the

program and has completed an approved course in driver education.
