TxDMV offices closed Friday after systems go down
If you were planning to go to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles on Friday, don't. The agency said that its systems are down, both online and in person.

All Texas Department of Motor Vehicle offices reopened at 12 p.m. Friday after a system-wide outage caused them to close Friday morning.

The outage affected all online and in-person services at all 16 TxDMV Regional Service Centers.

According to a tweet from TxDMV, service is now restored for in-person and online transactions, including those at county tax offices and other registration renewal locations such as grocery stores, vehicle dealerships, and MyPlates.

TxDMV did not say what caused their system to go down. They also did not provide further information about what Texans should do when it comes to rescheduling missed appointments.
