The reason for the DHS being involved is because of the new ‘info’ chips in your driver’s license. This happened in my state and many others. Texas may not have it yet.
Previously, you went to renew your license, they took your picture and in minutes created your new license.
Now, they just take your picture and send it and ALL your information to DHS where they imbed the ‘chip’ and make your new license.
There is a program to make Mich. Drivers Licenses passport like for “easier” crossing into Canada and back.

Wrap your license in foil and put it in your wallet. That way it can’t be read as you walk the halls of government buildings.
