The Texas department of public safety announces a new and temporary location for Brenham area residents to conduct drivers license business. The Blinn College Brenham campus student center will host a temporary office starting next Monday (July 15). This follows the April 12th crash of a stolen semi into the Brenham DPS building that killed two people. A DPS news release did not provide information on the status of a new permanent office building in Brenham. Earlier this week, the driver of the semi was indicted by a Washington County grand jury on two counts of capital murder and other crimes related to the crash. News release from the Texas Department of Public Safety: The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), in partnership with Blinn College, announces the opening of a temporary driver license (DL) office at the Blinn College Student Center in Brenham. Beginning Monday, July 15, Texans may visit this temporary office for full, in-person DL services. Members of the Texas Highway Patrol will also office at this location. “Members of DPS’ Driver License Division and the entire Brenham community have shown great strength and resilience in the aftermath of the DPS Brenham Station tragedy just a few short months ago,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “I thank Blinn College for allowing us to use their student center so that we can best serve customers in the Brenham area.” “I am grateful to the Texas Department of Public Safety and Blinn College for stepping up to create a temporary driver license office in Washington County,” said state Senator Lois Kolkhorst. “This means residents will now have a convenient location to access services from DPS for driver license renewals and other ID services. A local collaboration like this is a shining example of government working together to deliver services until a permanent DPS location is operational.” Following the tragic events and subsequent closure of DPS’ Brenham Station on April 12, area customers received essential DL services by visiting nearby DPS office locations. DPS’ new temporary DL office at the Blinn College Student Center will better serve customers in Brenham and surrounding communities, providing a closer, more convenient option for customers to complete DL transactions. DPS’ temporary Brenham DL office location and hours: Blinn College Student Center 1007 Walter Schwartz Way Brenham, Texas, 77833 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Office closed for lunch between 12 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. All DPS DL and identification card services are by appointment only. To make an appointment, visit public.txdpsscheduler.com. Customers may begin scheduling appointments at DPS’ temporary Brenham DL office beginning Friday, July 12.
