If your license erroneously says you are an organ donor, the Texas Department of Public Safety says you can get that corrected.
A Keller cancer patient says she noticed her donor status had changed on her Texas driver’s license without her doing it.
“I had my address changed on my driver’s license, now it says I’m an organ donor...I wasn’t before on my previous license. The only thing that changed was my address,” Kara Turrie said. “How many people have they changed their preferences without their knowledge? Now I have to unregister as a donor. I’m a cancer patient and have never been a donor.”is the official organ, eye and tissue donor registry for the state of Texas.
Texans who are applying for or renewing their Texas driver’s license, personal identification certificate or commercial driver’s license have the option to register as an organ donor. If you register as an organ donor, you are giving legal consent to have your organs removed and donated at the time of your death.
If your license says that you are an organ donor even though that is not what you selected on your driver’s license application,says you can get this information corrected by emailing their License and Record Service for assistance. Provide a brief explanation of the error and your contact information, and they will respond within two to three business days.Dalia Faheid is a reporter on the Star-Telegram’s service journalism team.
