I was told that TX does not use the same computer database as other states so I could get a license issued to me there. Anyone know any truth to that or have any suggestions?

Well, I live in Texas and have a direct answer.
I have a client that moved here from AZ and had a suspended DL. He went to TXDPS (our drivers license bureau) and got a Texas DL. About two weeks AFTER he got his license, he got a letter in the mail that DPS was suspending his TX DL because his AZ DL was suspended.
He had to go through the motions of getting his AZ DL reinstated, and then TX let him have his TX DL back.....but made him file an SR22 in Texas!
We may be a little slow sometimes but we're eventually going to straighten you out! Our electronic verification data base will start up around 02/01/2008!
Why is your AZ license suspended? Why not just get is fixed? Can you get an occupational license in AZ??
Good luck and I hope this helps!

No. All states are required to post the names of suspended and revoked drivers to the National Driver Register, which all states must check before issuing a license. You must clear up the suspension with AZ first.

No. All states use the same database. You cannot apply for a license in one state if you have a license suspended in another. It's illegal.

Jetdoc is correct.
In addition if you do claim another state as residence to get licensed and move back to Arizona to live, Arizona will consider you an Arizona resident and require you to have an Arizona license. Failure to do so may result in a large fine if you are caught. Apparently you are caught quite often, I wouldn't recommend it.

No. It is a violation of Federal law. The only way you could get a drivers license from another state is to move to the other state and establish a residence there.

Not true. Texas doesn't use standard INSURANCE forms. But they do share MVR records. Plus, they've gotten real fussy about legal residence standards in the past six months.
