Supposed to have a LICENSE to drive on public roads. That IS your I.D. No change, except illegals will be arrested, and dipshits with suspended licensesNew Texas law requiring ID at traffic stops goes into effect Friday
A new Texas law goes into effect Sept. 1 which makes failure to identify oneself to a police officer after being pulled over a misdemeanor.www.kltv.com
True.
Many people think you must have your Driver's License with you to drive.
Not true. For 40 years I've just told them my Name & Address when pulled over without my D.L.
Some cops would lie and say I needed to have the D.L. on me. I just said "Will Do Boss", and they looked me up on the computer.
Wrong. You just got lucky. In the state of Texas you have to haveca valid drivers license on your person to operate a motor vehicle. Also, in the state of Texas, if you have a LTC, and you are asked to identify yourself by a LEO, you must present your LTC and your Drivers License together.True.

Absolutely. I used to deal with them often back in the 1980s. Apparently the intervening years haven't given them time to educate themselves.They all seem to have the stupid gene.

First of all, this is only if you are carrying a handgun at the time. Second, you don't need a LTC anymore to carry a handgun (in most places), so if ID is "demanded" (that's the language in the law), I'll just say either, I'm not carrying or I don't have my DL and LTC on me, whichever is the case.

Why not obey the law?
You'll get a fat ticket for no DL while operating a motor vehicle on a public road or highway and or be hassled for your efforts.First of all, this is only if you are carrying a handgun at the time.

Yes. I meant if you weren’t driving..You'll get a fat ticket for no DL while operating a motor vehicle on a public road or highway and or be hassled for your efforts.

If you cannot be identified well enough for the the officer to be satisfied of swearing to your identity in court, you may get arrested and brough before the magistrate rather than being released with a ticket (your signed promise to return to the magistrate (court) later.Another interesting thing I found out
Yes. I meant if you weren’t driving..
Another interesting thing I found out is that if your Texas DL is suspended, you still keep the card. it's just not valid for driving. Don't ask me how I know.Supposed to have a LICENSE to drive on public roads. That IS your I.D. No change, except illegals will be arrested, and dipshits with suspended licenses
Yes I understand that for driving, my point was somewhat off topic in that I meant if you're not driving a car, you have no obligation to produce identification, nor even interact with the police.If you cannot be identified well enough for the the officer to be satisfied of swearing to your identity in court, you may get arrested and brough before the magistrate rather than being released with a ticket (your signed promise to return to the magistrate (court) later.

Write you a ticket... that's what is likely to happen.
If asked for an ID it is easier to provide it, than be fingerprinted in a holding cell to obtain identification.
For FAIL TO DISPLAY DL or NO DL, not the ltc part.Ticket for what? Failure to show LTC was administrative penalty issued by DPS, now there is no penalty at all.
