In Texas: Is it possible for an immigrant married to a citizen to obtain a driver's license before geting

a green card or a work permit and what is the penalty if she is caught driving w/o a license? Can she be covered under her husbands insurance?Could she be deported? They have a 6 month old baby.She has only been here 4 years.

Answer:
If she's married to a citizen then she should be able to file for Adjustment of Status and at the same time file for a work permit. After getting the work permit, which takes 3-6 months I believe, she can take it to the social security office and get an SSN, after that, she can use the SSN and the work permit to get a driver's license.
I can't speak to Texas law, but in Florida you need to have proof that you are in the country legally before you can get a license. That proof can be just a letter from immigration saying that they are processing your application for a green card.
I think people just need to follow the law and do things legally instead of trying to work the system.
If she is leagaly married to a citizen of this country and has a child that was born in this country, she will not be deported. She needs to contact the Texas BMV and they can give her the info she needs to get her license. If she is cought driving without a license she could be arrested and would then be ineligable to get one for a period of six months to a year and fined. She should get her paper work straight as soon as possible before she gets herself into trouble.
