I came to know that in Texas they issue DL to F-1 students with validity of only one year. On the top of that, the DL includes a 'TEMPORARY VISITOR' stamp. That really sucks. Do dealers finance cars to people with such driver's license? One conclusion, it is very important to be in status,  because laws are getting stricter. 

Anybody from Texas who is an F-1 got their driver's license without 'TEMPORARY VISITOR' stamp recently? If yes, from where? Which city and DPS location?
