(a) The department will demand the surrender of a person's driver license if that license is:
  (1) canceled due to a conviction of Texas Transportation Code, §521.451;
  (2) revoked due to a determination that the individual is incapable of safely operating a motor vehicle; or
  (3) subject to a notice of suspension under Texas Transportation Code, Chapters 524 and 724.
(b) The department will demand the surrender of a person's commercial driver license if that license is suspended, revoked, canceled, disqualified, or issuance of the license has been denied.
(c) This section does not prohibit the department from demanding the surrender of any license when state law authorizes the surrender.
(d) A license that is suspended, revoked, canceled, disqualified or denied that is not demanded to be surrendered by the department can be held by the individual and used for identification purposes only. Actual possession of the driver license does not provide the individual whose license is suspended, revoked, canceled, disqualified or denied authorization to operate a motor vehicle.
(e) A license that has been surrendered to the department will be returned to the licensee upon termination of the suspension, revocation, cancellation, or denial. The license will not be returned if the license expires during the period it is held by the department.
(f) A license that is surrendered to the department that is damaged or mutilated will not be stored or returned. The licensee will be required to apply for a duplicate license upon termination of the suspension, revocation, cancellation or disqualification.
(g) The department is not responsible for licenses surrendered to another agency or entity. If the license is not forwarded to the department by the other agency or entity the licensee can either apply for a duplicate license upon termination of the suspension, revocation, cancellation or disqualification or contact the other agency or entity in order to locate the surrendered license.
(h) The surrendered license will be mailed to the address supplied to the department during the application, renewal or duplicate process only. If the licensee has moved the licensee will be required to apply for a duplicate license through the change of address process.
