validity of Indian driver's license in Texas

most of the Indians who come here to work in Texas does not know this information.

1) How long can I drive with an out-of-country driver license?

Generally, a person 18 to 75 years of age with a valid out-of-country driver license in their possession may drive a private, non-commercial motor vehicle in the State of Texas for up to one year from date of entry into the United States, if their home country has reciprocity with the U.S.

India has the Reciprocity relation with USA.

Though, the Texas driver's license is good to have as this is the ID in Texas.
