Texas Driving with Disability

The Governor’s Texas Driving with Disability Program wants to spotlight this Texas trail-blazing program. The program focuses on improving the interaction between law enforcement and drivers with disabilities with unique communication needs. Texans now have the option to disclose “Communication Impediment” directly on the front of their Driver License or State ID.  Communication Impediment with a Peace Officer is an optional indicator offered by the Department of Public Safety (DPS).  Also, disclose the indicator when registering a vehicle through the DMV.   Qualifying diagnoses include: Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Autism, Mild Intellectual Disability, Parkinsons' disease, PTSD and more.  For information and forms, go to the Texas Governor's Website at : TexasDrivingwithDisability.com.
