You can start the classroom phase at 14 and return when you are 15 to sign up for the behind the wheel program. If you are 15 years of age, you can start the full program, which includes classroom and behind-the-wheel concurrently. Keep in mind that you must be 15 to get your learner’s permit.​

The classroom phase consists of 32 hours of classroom (16 days – 2 hours/day) and 7 hours of behind-the-wheel driving and 7 hours of in-car observation. It is also required that an additional 30 hours of behind-the-wheel driving be done with a parent or guardian, 10 hrs of which must be done at night​. 

You must bring a black-ink pen and paper to class every day. Textbooks and the Texas Drivers’ Manual will be provided in class.

Absences are not encouraged, but the state allows 5 days or 10 hours missed. Keep in mind that all absences must be made up. These can be made up by attending the same day of instruction with a later course or a make-up packet the next day. Just show up at least 30min before class. Each packet costs $10. Day 10, 11, and 12 of instruction are Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program days. If missed, you must make up by attending with the following session. No make-up packets are available for Day 10, 11, and 12.

Teens must hold on to their permit for at least 6 months and be 16 years of age before going to DPS for the road test to get a license..

Yes. Starting September 1, 2009 any student submitting an application to the DPS for a permit or a drivers’ license must take a road test.

Texas law requires that persons under the age of 18 be enrolled in school and attending regularly to get a license. There was an exception: if the person has a high school diploma or a GED, the drivers’ license could be issued.

VOE stands for Verification of Enrollment, also known as TEA form. This mean that the student must be enrolled and attending school. You get this from your high school attendance office. It must be signed by a designated school official. You will need it when you go to DPS to get your permit and license. If taking drivers ed in the summer, ask for your VOE form during the later part of May. A VOE form issued in May is good all summer. If you do not have your VOE form you can still take our course and request one when school starts in the fall.
