I received a letter stating I need to file a tax return for a state I did not work/live in, but did hold a driver's license. What are my options?

Each state is different.  I assume you were once a resident of the state to get a driver's license.

Four states make ending your residency very difficult: California, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Usually, the determining factor is whether you have income in that state.  In Virginia, even a little income requires you to file as a non-resident.  You are required to report your total income there, both in state and out of state.

If you can get through to a state revenue person, a lot of times this can be cleared up over the phone.  That has happened to me twice.  After a brief conversation, I was told not to file.
