No DL in TX Just when we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel - Page 2

To put it another way: we get the EAD, but no visa to proof our legal status.

That's what I'm thinking they'll do.

Since the EAD itself lists how you obtained it (see my other thread), state personnel will know you got yours under DACA, and, thus, know you don't have legal status.

TPS, I'm not sure, but may be considered "legal status" for these purposes, since it's technically designated by Congress.

In essence, they could accept EADs from all other categories, except those from C33 -- DACA beneficiaries.

Now, whether a federal ruling can forbid or overturn this is another story.

The article says nothing about Rick Perry creating new policies banning DACA recipients from receiving driver's licenses...
