Most states have a set number of days you have to be living there in order to apply which makes it difficult to acquire more than 1.
Usually you just need to show mail coming to a resident in that state for a certain time period. It's not very hard to do.

You could go into a TX DMV and get a TX DL without having to surrender your out of state DL.
You would have to register as a first time DL holder with the state of TX, which would include you having to take a the standard tests, which is basically a 4 month wait in Houston, at least.
I'd recommend going to some shithole town and do it there, most of those places employ the dummies and aren't as technologically advanced as a bigger city.

Can you have two driver's licenses simultaneously?
No.
When you receive a DL from a state the OMV runs your name and Social Security # in the database and checks for any other licenses in other states.
If any are found they send that state a notice to cancel the license.
You might have 2 hard copies from different states but the only one that will be valid will be the newest one.

No it doesn't matter how small the town , it still runs through to the State OMV.
Without a second social security # any other DL's would just be canceled.

I used a cell phone bill while living in a company owned townhouse.

Maybe, I did this for eight years got pulled over several times but twice they found the suspended La. license and took me for a ride even with Texas tags.

So why do some states make you surrender your out of state DL in order to receive that states DL, if your old DL is null and void?

Look into Montana. They didn't cross check as of 5 years ago.

You can't surrender what is lost.

So you can't present it as a good DL even though it is null and void. Just another check and balance.

Exactly. BUT, as I've encountered this first hand in TX, if you DO NOT have an out of state DL to surrender, you have to go through the system as if you're a first time DL holder. Road test, computer test and all that noise.
So my question is, if all the states have shared data of DL holders, why in the hell would anyone have to go through all that? If it says in the system, 'Oh Hey look, Joe Blow has a DL from LA that doesn't expire until 2017, why MUST you have a hardcopy to surrender?
Which is why I don't think different states DMV/OMV collaborate with one another, unless there's a type of traffic offense/violation, i.e. hold on that persons DL, for any reason.

Yeah, Montana does some weird stuff.. No sales tax on RVs, boats, etc.
I guess when you're desperate for residents you'll do anything.

Thinking back I remember now that I did have to surrender my LA license to get my FL one. At the time, I did not have to do the same in CO. I was living in both states and got called to jury duty. I got out by getting a CO license. I'm very sure CO has changed the rules on this since then.
Again. Look into Montana. They had a different set of rules until very recently.

Because Gov't policies usually don't keep up with technology.
A lot of states are still using policies written for when states were not automated and connected to each other.

They do. I have investigated identity theft cases and have worked with OMV numerous times.

Sadly the reason I know this is because I worked with a guy who did 12 years for murder.

I'm basing this off of what happened to me personally in 2012. I had a LA DL, had been living in TX for 5 years, no TX DL..got a DWI, TX took my LA DL, TX obviously wouldn't give me a DL, drove to LA, they told me there was a hold on it and couldn't give me one. Went back to TX was still refused a DL, got a TX ID card, waited until my 180 day suspension was up, went back in TX for a DL, was told I needed to fork over $150, I flipped em the bird, drove back to LA and got a renewal.
