United States | New proposed Texas driver's license requirements may impact nonimmigrants with expired visas

The state of Texas has proposed a change to the list of documents nonimmigrants in the United States may use to establish identity when applying for a Texas driver's license or state ID. As a result, certain nonimmigrants who are lawfully in the United States may encounter additional questions or challenges obtaining or renewing their state driver's license or ID in Texas after their visa stamp expires, even when they continue to maintain their nonimmigrant status.

A Tax Alert prepared by EY Law LLP group, and attached below, provides additional details.
