Anyone here work for, or familiar, with the Texas DPS?

here's the situation:

my sister, who is 20, went to take the written portion of the driver's exam about a couple of months ago. she passed it and they told her she had 3 months to take and pass the driving portion. well, today i looked at her ID and it's labeled as a driver's LICENSE. why would they give her a DL if she hadn't even taken the driving portion? shouldn't it only be a permit? is this a mistake on the part of the department?

 

Rest: B

B = LOFS age 21 or over.

edit: i just googled it.

Licensed Operator in Front Seat. i guess that means she has to have someone over 21 in the car to drive.
