SECTION 3.58. Acceptance of Out-of-State Bail Bond Receipts as Drivers License

Receipts for drivers license. Some states permit persons charged with certain traffic offenses to surrender their drivers license in lieu of posting bail, to guarantee court appearances. A receipt is issued by a court, or by an officer, to each driver who surrenders his drivers license in lieu of bail. This receipt is recognized as a drivers license in the state issuing the receipt until the date of trial shown on the receipt. Officers of the department will accept these receipts as a valid license in Texas under the same conditions that they are accepted in the issuing state.
