SAP home screen with “ESS+” highlighted in the top menu.

Step 3.2 - Navigate to ESS+

Step 1: Confirm

Confirm you are eligible to use an out-of-state driver’s license for TXST driving.

Before you upload a driving record, make sure you are driving under the type of license that matches your situation. Use the guidelines below to confirm whether you should be using a Texas or out-of-state driver’s license for TXST driving.

  • Texas-based faculty and staff who live and work in Texas are required to drive on a valid Texas driver’s license and are not permitted to drive on an out-of-state license.
  • Faculty and staff whose permanent residence and primary work location are outside Texas may drive on a valid out-of-state driver’s license and submit an out-of-state driving record.
  • Student workers and sponsored student drivers whose permanent residence is outside Texas may drive on a valid out-of-state driver’s license and submit an out-of-state driving record.

Step 2: Records

Get your non-certified driving record from the state that issued your license.

Out-of-state drivers can obtain a non-certified record directly from their state's licensing agency, typically via their website or mail.

Your non-certified driving record must:

  • Show at least the last three years of your driving history from the state that issued your license.
  • Match your legal name and date of birth on file with TXST.
  • Come directly from the official state driver licensing agency.
  • Be requested recently (within the last 30 days) so it reflects your current record.

If your driving record does not meet these requirements, Fleet Services will notify you and you will need to request and upload a new record before your TXST driving approval can be completed.
