DHS did not give notice and ask for comment before issuing DAPA, which was the reason judge Hanen blocked DAPA. He did not rule on the constitutional arguments.

Nope. Because Texas claimed that driver's licenses are subsidized and cost more than what they actually charge drivers and those orders would force them to give the driver's licenses to DAPA and EDACA recipients, it would cost them money and so Texas would be hurt.
The EXACT argument can be made for DACA and this same judge can easily slap an injunction on DACA on September 5th before he goes home. Maybe in a year or two it'll end up in the supreme court again. They don't have to make the constitutional argument now when they have a blueprint of what worked.
