New Texas Drivers License Design

On August 18th, the Texas Department of Public Safety introduced a new, tamper-resistant driver’s license and ID card format, marking a significant upgrade from the 2020 version. This latest design incorporates modern aesthetic elements and advanced security features aimed at making counterfeiting more difficult while improving readability and verification.

Key Design Enhancements

The new Texas IDs feature several notable design updates, including:

1. The traditional gold star REAL ID indicator has been replaced with a laser-engraved black star for a more distinct and tamper-resistant marker.
2. Reorganized personal information layout making data easier to read and verify.
3. Tactile surface feature providing a physical element that can be felt for added authenticity.
4. An improved Look Through element with UV enhancement adding an extra layer of security visible under UV light.

Security Features

The new Texas driver’s licenses incorporate a range of sophisticated security measures, such as:

1. Polycarbonate material — increasing durability and tamper resistance.
2. UV design features — visible only under UV light for quick authentication.
3. Laser engraving — providing precise, tamper-evident markings.
4. Embedded holograms — adding another layer of verification difficulty.
