Thank you for asking Aditya.
According to the Texas Driver’s Manual, nonresidents (at least 18 years of age) may be able to operate any car in the state of Texas if they are legally licensed to drive such a car in their home state or country, and if their home state or country grants a recognition to citizens of Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety states that, a person 18 to 75 years of age with a valid out-of-country driver license with them may be able to drive a private, non-commercial car in the State of Texas for up to a year from date of entry into the United States.
The Texas Department of Public Safety states you may verify with the License Issuance at (512) 424-5089 to verify the reciprocity agreement status also.To get more information specifically about your situation you may contact the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
You may also contact the Texas Department of Public Safety to check exactly what you should bring with you to operate a vehicle in the state of Texas so you will not have any problems driving.
Goodluck!
