Texas - Get a Jumpstart on Being Organized in 2015
With the new year upon us, Texas.gov
is a great way to meet your resolution of being more organized. In just
a few simple clicks and at your leisure, you can take care of many
government tasks online with the assurance that the transaction will be
quick, easy, and secure. While Texas.gov offers more than one thousand
online services, here are a few of our most popular:
-
Driver
License Renewal - Many Texans are eligible to renew their license
online instead of making a trip to the office. As one recent user of
the online service said, "Love it!! Sure beats standing in lines at
the office!"
-
Vehicle
Registration Renewal - You have to do it every year, so make it
easy on yourself and renew one of our state's 22 million vehicles
online.
-
Vital
Records - In other words, you can safely order birth and death
certificates and marriage or divorce verifications online. The
Texas.gov price of $22 is the same as a mail or walk-in order, and
oftentimes much less expensive than a third-party service.
-
Driver
Records - If you need a driver record for your job or for
insurance purposes, Texas.gov has you covered. Just head online to
print one yourself.
-
Park
Reservations - It's never too early to make your reservation in a
beautiful Texas state park.
-
Commissary
Purchases & Deosits - Family and friends of those
incarcerated in a TDCJ facility can purchase commissary items and make
trust fund deposits online.
-
Professional License Renewals - We make it simple for accountants,
insurance
agents, nurses,
physicians,
teachers,
and other
professionals to renew online. If your job requires a license or
certification, stay compliant with Texas.gov.
And remember, in order to safely take care of your government business
online, beware of unofficial, look-alike websites operated by private
organizations that may charge unnecessary fees for services or
information. Instead, make sure you are using the State's official
website, www.texas.gov,
or an official state agency website to complete your online transaction.
To access an official website, enter the URL in the address bar at the
top of your Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, Google (News - Alert) Chrome, etc.) instead of entering the address in a
search engine bar (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.). Also look for
the .gov or .state.tx.us extension which will be present
in the URLs of all official Texas state government websites.
