TX HHS Form 3955. Application for Driver Identification Visor Card

The TX HHS Form 3955, Application for Driver Identification Visor Card, is a crucial document for Texas residents who are deaf or hard of hearing and hold a valid state-issued driver's license. This form helps solve the problem of ensuring communication accessibility during traffic stops by providing a visor card that identifies the driver as deaf or hard of hearing.

The application requires key information from the applicant, including their name, date of birth, street address, county of residence, and phone number. The form also asks about the type of visor card needed, whether the driver is deaf (uses sign language) or has a hearing loss, and if they want to be contacted by HHS ODHHS Access or Technology Specialists for additional community resources.

To complete the application, applicants must attach a copy of their valid Texas driver's license and provide certification from a licensed physician, audiologist, or advanced practice registered nurse verifying that they are deaf or hard of hearing and likely to have difficulty communicating in traffic stops. The form is valid until August 31, 2024, and should be mailed to HHS ODHHS at P.O. Box 12904, Austin, Texas 78711.
