qualifies? Since, in the state of Texas, a hardship license, if used for persons under 16 and not for a criminal related reason, will turn into a normal license the day the driver turns 16 but they still have to pick up the license from a DMV, what would happen if you were already 16 but still had several months left on your permit of the 6 month holding period, but actually do qualify? Would they just give you your license since you're already 16 or would you have a hardship for the remainder of your holding period?
