Yes, all teens (14 thru 17) who wish to start driving (behind the wheel) must go through a structured driver training program. Training can be structured through an online format (either parent-taught or instructor-taught) or in a traditional program in our classroom.
The State of Texas allows 14 year olds to start driver’s ed classroom (24 hours)
HOWEVER, they cannot start the driving phase nor get a learner’s permit until their 15th birthday?
Get your permit in as little as 6 hours. Texas recognizes that students want their permit as quickly as possible. All of our programs begin with permit review. You do not have to take your permit test this early.

Usually an out of state learner’s permit will require the applicant to retake the written test at a minimum and the possibility of retaking the adult driver’s ed course?
- International drivers who hold their respective country’s license, may be required by the DPS to do adult driver’s ed. This is dependent on respective treaty.
- If you have already taken a driving test and received a license in another state – you will not need driver’s ed again. Just change your license over to a Texas license.
Absolutely, we have a service for that. We can give you private lessons to supplement what you already know or we can start from scratch and build your skills up in our Learn to Drive package.
