	Q: Hi. I am taking over my dad's auto repair business in Plano TX. I have discovered he did not renew his DBA for the business. The business bank account has said all I need to do is bring them a current DBA and we can transfer the accounts to my name, since I am on the account. What do I need to do this? Also, I am currently moving back from KY, which means I have a KY license instead of a TX license right now. What can I do, and if I get a TX license, (which will be paper copy until I get the real one), will the county accept that? I realize that. My question is will I be able to file for one using my out of state license, or will they accept the paper copy I will receive until I get the permanent license?
