Is the DMV open today in Texas?
In Texas, driver licensing is handled by the Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License Division. Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Texas never moves a holiday that lands on a weekend, so there is no day off for Independence Day in 2026 beyond July 4 itself, which is a Saturday.
Juneteenth is a Texas state holiday, but the state keeps agencies staffed and open that day rather than closing them.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Texas does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
