Driving permit for spouse(who is on L1 visa)

[rish_texas]

Hello,
I am a student on an F1 visa and have a valid driving license here(Texas). My husband is moving from India to Houston soon on an L1 visa.
Does he need an SSN and proofs of residence in order to get a driving permit here?

Normally he'd have to wait to get his SSN, his name on a lease and utility bills (to provide proof of address). On the other hand, if he had come on a dependent visa, he would not need any of these documents (verified by a friend who was in this situation). So our case is somewhere 'in between'.

Would appreciate advice on this.
Thank you.

SSN is generally received within 2 or 3 weeks if he applies immediately. Adding him onto utility or apartment lease should be very quick though, why would it take time? Until then he may be able drive using his foreign license.
