I do. It doesn't bother me because the gov't already has all that info about me anyway.
What did bother me was that to get my RealID I had to put a lot of information onto a website, id.me, that looked like a third party vendor. I have no idea how secure it is/was, and that made me uncomfortable.

But they are different orgs (state vs fed). They might share info, but it is not that easy. I was in a situation where one state prosecutor expressed in traffic court they were unable to pull my info since my drivers license belongs to another state.

That's kind of my query. If they know all that info about you, why would they need you to give it to them. I suspect they're too incompetent or legally unable to put all the info together themselves and it's in different silos in different jurisdictions.

It's a federal check on the states rolls since some states were (are?) issuing ID's willy nilly to "undocumented" persons, the Real ID shows the state issued the ID based on information DHS should already have.
The fact that you got a CA ID with a TX address shows that CA ID's are not serious from a federal perspective, I doubt you'd be able to get a CA Real ID with a TX address.
