An ID card is legally acceptable, but bars (who depend on keeping their liquor liscenses) will usually err on the side of caution. There is no law saying they MUST serve you if you are of age. So even if the OP walked in with a TXDL, he could be turned away.

I had a Texas ID card when I first moved to Colorado when I was 17. I did not have a license. Because my identification was out of state, I could not open a bank account. So even if you have perfectly legal identification, you can be turned away. Especially if it's an ID card, which most establishments are not familiar with.

This is neither here nor there of course, it just seems like we are arguing over what is legal or not, and that doesn't matter. A bar can turn you away irregardless.
