Is a Mexico driver license a valid Driver license in Texas? If I've established the person Lives here, has he not violated the requirement to obtain a TX-DL, and thus has no DL since I can't verify the Mexican Document?

I understand a person visiting with a Mexico DL is legit in the same way a Canadian driver license is. I've always been under the impression that they are good for a brief visit, but once you establish residency here you cant drive on the foreign DL?

Opinions appreciated.

It has been some years (try 20) but I came to Texas with an English driver's license. At some point, I was required to obtain a Texas license. As for the details, I probably found out all I needed to know from the DPS.

You can find the information regarding reciprocity with international DLs at 37 Tex. Admin. Code 15.91.

I understand this part. I wouldn't cite someone for no DL if they just moved here, same with foreign License plates.

You can find the DPS rule on foreign DLs on our website (www.txpds.state.tx.us) or on the Secretary of State's website (www.sos.state.tx.us).
