Driver License Offices and Vehicle Tax Offices Closed Friday Due to Tech Issues

July 19, 2024 – DPS Driver License Offices (DLOs) across the state are currently closed due to a technical issue. Customers with appointments should have been notified. Our IT teams are working diligently on a fix, however there is no current estimate on when DLOs will reopen.

The Hopkins County Tax Office Motor Vehicle System is down also due to the same technical problem.

Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike said that the issue believed to be behind the outage was not a security incident or cyberattack — and that a fix was on the way. The company said the problem occurred when it deployed a faulty update to computers running Microsoft Windows.

The agency said their IT teams were working on a fix, but there was no estimate on when the driver license offices would reopen.
