Can a UPS store box address be used to get a Tx drivers license?

It's most likely because Texas is using the Real ID criteria now for issuing licenses. The physical address thing is a Real ID criteria. It's a giant PIA for people that move around a lot or have remote addresses that really don't have a physical location. I was between houses, living in an RV, when I had to renew my CDL. I couldn't close on the new house without a valid ID, I couldn't get a valid ID without the house. I basically just said I was living at my business physical address.

 

What state is he a resident of at present?

 

I did not know that this was a Real ID thing even though I asked about it at the DMV. So thank you for sharing. Of course the feds had to be the ones to go and make things more difficult.

It sure as hell is.

 

Texas is strict, even with the Escapees RV Club option.
In Florida you can get a legal address legally for a CDL through Escapees RV Club. Don't have to own or rent a home; just go in person to the Escapees RV Club in Bushnell, Florida and register your RV, van, pickup truck there.
South Dakota Escapees is also simple; maybe easier than Florida.

 

MO went REAL here last year too.

 

If he has a Texas license already and it has a gold/yellow star on it. It is already a real id. If not and getting a re-issue the new one will have one.

 

Since he is not active military He may have to show proof of residence for at least a month to get Texas license. Like a copy of last months utilities bill. It is getting harder.

Texas is only offering real ids to new or renewals to licenses. I don’t know what’s required for car registration or insurance in Texas. In some states you have to show a utility bill that’s hardwired to residence like water or electric for example, or title or lease agreement to residence.
