A bad check on a new license or renewal may result in the cancellation of the license The Licensing Division has implemented a new procedure to handle bad checks submitted for payment of application and renewal fees. Applying for a new license or renewing an existing license requires a fee.
Fees are a mandatory part of the filing.
When a check is returned to TDI, the filing is incomplete. The agent will have 20 calendar days to respond and submit the appropriate fees. After 20 days, the license will be canceled. If the returned check makes the renewal late, then a late fee must be added to the total. The replacement money order or cashier's check must be received within 90 days from the expiration date of the renewed license for the license to be renewed.
