Also, if ordered along with a passport book renewal the passport card is by far the cheapest federally acceptable ID on a per year basis; it's $30 for 10 years, or $3/year.
A Military dependent ID card is also an government ID that is accepted and it is free - the OP has one and refuses to use it so VoV |

(I have a GE ID, but I don't carry it anymore because it was always declined for quality of the photo) The valid TX ID is acceptable for flying domestically in the US, so continue to use it without burdening yourself with carrying additional ID when you have no required need for carrying additional ID. The more ID you travel with together and thereby place at risk of loss/theft, the easier you make life for identity thieves of various sorts. “Less is more” comes to mind. |
https://www.tsa.gov/contact-center/form/complaints File a complaint and request that the PHX screeners be retrained. Make it brief & to the point, but I'd phrase it as you're a TX resident with an unexpired valid license issued by TX with a temporary out of state address (not that you're living in IL, which could imply that you're really an IL resident). Same if a TSA screener hassles you in the future. |
Would the TSA have the authority to confiscate a DL? I would certainly call for a police officer if that happened.
Then you could, in theory, go through the procedure for flying without valid ID. Or, to make this simpler, you could just get a passport card or use your passport (how is losing that any more likely or problematic than losing your drivers license?) |

If I'm out of town and my wallet gets stolen, I know that when I get back home, I have at least one valid ID to use to start rebuilding. If I'm traveling domestically, the at-home ID is my passport. If I'm traveling outside the country, my DL stays at home. I shouldn't have to put myself at greater risk or have to pay money for additional IDs just because a screener chooses to impose his/her own rules. |

Just don’t worry about the TSA making up stuff like this and just continue to use your Texas ID as usual.
1. TSA's website does not specifiy a particular standard for ID/DL; and, 2. Both AZ and TX are REAL ID compliant states (assuming your TX DL is REAL ID compliant); and, 3. TSA accepts various documentation regardless if it is on its own list or not. |

A lost US state driving license is way less likely to result in future international travel hassles at foreign ports than a lost passport, duly reported as lost — hassles they can come even if the reported passport was lost more than 1/2/4/5/10 years ago. |
I have a Texas DL with a an out-of-Texas address on it and have for nearly 20 years. Never once has the TSA not accepted it. A few times checkers have made comments, and once a girl asked for a supervisor but in five seconds after his arrival I was let through. The address on the license is not something required for any TSA screening. Ask for a supervisor, get the doc checkers name, and contact the FSD at the airport so the person can be re-educated. I know over 20 people with TX DLs with out-of-state addresses and none of have ever had a problem either.
Sounds like an untrained screener, let the FSD know. |
