I know this has been brought up before, but that info has gotten old. Looking to renew DL and have to do it in person (it's been 12 years) - where's the go to place in DFW that gives you a chance to retain your sanity?

Oh, the "Click to get in line online" function is not currently being accepted for renewals

I went to the Ft. Worth megacenter, but at that time was able to get in line online. That system worked well, and it looks like the online line is only down temporarily. I would wait until it was back up and running and then renew.

Update:

Since it's so cold and I didn't think I'd be productive at work, I skipped out to experiment with just dropping in. I went to the Carrollton location at 121 and Carrollton Parkway just east of I35.

I walked through the door at approx. 9:05am and registered at the self-serve kiosks just inside the door and was issued a number. My number came up in approx. 1 hour, and after a little data entry from the friendly attendant I was walking out the door at approx. 10:20am. Just thought I'd pass it on for future reference.

I'd prefer to get in line online at Garland or any of the centers that support it. My last renewal I was in and out in 15 minutes as I walked in the door about 4 people till it was my turn.

Yep. Getting in line online at Garland Supercenter has always been easiest to me. 15 minutes, 30 minutes max.

There is a live webcam at each location so you can see the line. I went to the Garland Supercenter in November. Got there early, arrived about 5 minutes before they opened, and was in and out and in about 20 minutes.

Plano is very random. Sometimes you can get in and out in under an hour. Sometimes there are lines wrapped around the building.

I went to the one in Garland. I checked in online. When I got in the building it was so jam packed. There weren't enough chairs and some people were sitting on the floor. I thought for sure I would be there all day. But as I was trying to figure out where I was going to sit, they called my number. It was literally within the first two minutes of being there. I was in and out in no time.

I tried getting in line online and all the systems were broken and didn't let me do it.
So it was 3 hours at the Plano location for me.

Seriously...?

I didnt realize that there is a webcam at every Driving Licence office . I thought it was only at the tax offices
