Texas DMV question for 80 year olds?

Question

My grandmother needs to get her license renewed on by her 80th birthday. Although I think its a bit scary she want's to drive still, I'm curious to see what all she will need to do to get her license renewed. I know I could just call my local DMV, but I'm very bored seeing that I can not leave the house due to a blizzard outside, and the DMV is closed on account of the weather. My grandmother said someone told her that she would have to take a driving test. Is this true? Or is she just going to have to take the eye exam? Thanks so much for giving us a little help and possibly easing her anxiety. Have a great day!

Lol @ John I know the feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Texas you go to the DPS office. For people 79 and older they are given a medical evaluation first. If they don't pass they must take the driving test to make sure they can safely operate a vehicle. Everyone takes vision test.

I know my grandpa had to do the eye exam when he hit that age, but didn't have to do the driving exam, which I wished to God he did. He was scary to ride with
