For a Texas driver license inquiry by name, is the date of birth required?

In the context of a Texas driver license inquiry by name, the date of birth is not a required piece of information. The system that processes these inquiries can effectively search for a driver's license record based solely on the individual's name. While the date of birth can enhance the accuracy of the search by helping to differentiate between individuals with the same name, it is not mandatory for the inquiry to be processed. Thus, one can conduct a name-based inquiry without needing to provide the date of birth, making it an optional rather than required field in the system. This flexibility is particularly useful when the date of birth is not readily available.
