[Texas] license just expired, just got laid off, can’t renew because it’s suspended. Help?

[irishtexan39]

I was laid off due to the fact I can’t drive for my company anymore. I was on a occupational but we got a new insurance and they wouldn’t insure me. My license just expired October 20th. I just got laid off. It won’t let me renew online, I already applied for benefits. What can I do? Am I screwed?

@irishtexan39 What exactly is the issue? Why do you need a driver's license in regards to unemployment?

@irishtexan39 You should be able to go in and get an ID card. You don't have to be licensed to get unemployment.

@irishtexan39 It let you apply without having to take a pic of you and your license?
