Receipts for drivers license. Some states permit persons charged with certain traffic offenses to surrender their drivers license in lieu of posting bail, to guarantee court appearances. A receipt is issued by a court, or by an officer, to each driver who surrenders his drivers license in lieu of bail. This receipt is recognized as a drivers license in the state issuing the receipt until the date of trial shown on the receipt. Officers of the department will accept these receipts as a valid license in Texas under the same conditions that they are accepted in the issuing state.
