The Texas Department of Public Safety (the department) adopts the repeal of §§15.27, 15.28, and 15.39, concerning Application Requirements--Original, Renewal, Duplicate, Identification Certificates. These repeals are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the February 26, 2021 issue of the Texas Register (46 TexReg 1357) and will not be republished.

These repeals are necessary because the currently applicable rule language is included in newly proposed rules §15.27 and §15.28 that consolidate and streamline general issuance requirements for minor driver licenses.

No comments were received regarding the adoption of these repeals.

These repeals are adopted pursuant to Texas Government Code, §411.004(3), which authorizes the Public Safety Commission to adopt rules considered necessary for carrying out the department's work and Texas Transportation Code, §521.005, which authorizes the department to adopt rules necessary to administer Chapter 521 of the Texas Transportation Code.
