Likely next steps

  1. Use the Texas replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the problem.
  2. Use the county tax office locator below to confirm where the replacement must be handled.
  4. Confirm whether you also still need a normal renewal after the replacement is processed.
