Which statement about the effect of active military service on a Texas driver's license is correct?

• A. The license remains valid only while the person is physically in Texas
• B. The license remains valid while the person is absent from the state, unless suspended
• C. The license becomes invalid after 90 days of absence
• D. The license is canceled upon deployment

Answer: (B)

When someone is on active military duty, Texas treats the driver's license as still valid even if they’re stationed outside the state. That means deployment doesn’t automatically make the license invalid as long as there isn’t a separate suspension in place for another reason. This protects service members from losing driving privileges just because they’re away serving.

So the license remains valid during absence from Texas unless there is an independent reason to suspend it. That’s why this statement best fits the rule. The other possibilities would imply automatic invalidation or cancellation due to deployment, which isn’t how Texas handles military service.
