Will an auto insurance company insure a person with an out-of-state driver's license?
I recently moved from Florida to Texas. At the same time, my auto insurance is about to lapse. Can I get coverage in Texas with a Florida driver's license?

You can go to the Texas Department of Public Safety website to see what documentation you need to get a driver’s license.
