Donate Life Texas officials cite the strong, ongoing partnership between the Donate Life Texas organization and the Texas Department of Public Safetyâs Driver License Division, which provides an opportunity to join the registry while applying for or renewing a state driverâs license or identification card, for reaching the milestone.
On average, 82 percent of those registered signed up through a transaction at a DPS driver license office. The ability to join the donor registry gives each customer the chance to save eight lives and heal 75 others through the gift of organ, eye and tissue donation.Â
