I have a Texas license with an out-of-state address; there are many reasons to have one, and it is more common than many would think. I have seen Florida, California, Tenn., and Okla. ones all with out-of-state addresses for military, students and a few other catagories. At one point I had an APO address on even.

I don't present my DL often, but I have had a question or two about it. Normally it is something like "How did you get that address on your license?" to which I reply, the change of address form (the truth). The reasons behind it are nobody's concern.

I'm surprised PNS has never seen this but then again with TSA, nothing really surprises me.

I have seen Ark. and TEnn. licenses with a blank picture and "Valid without Picture" in the box or "Valid with Military ID" for military and government employees overseas or out-of-state. All legal, and all it would take is about 10 minutes of training for new TSA clerks but God forbid we do that...

I wouldn't even get into the reasons behind it with the TSA. It is legal, they need to move on. Ask for a LEO and explain it to them.
