A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets Texas's standards for instructors, vehicles and lessons. Without it, the hours you pay for may not count, and your insurer may turn down the certificate.
In Texas, driving schools are licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
- Search Texas’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Teens 14 to 17: 32 classroom hours, 7 hours behind the wheel and 7 hours of in-car observation, recorded on TDLR form DE-964. (source)
- Adults 18 to 24 getting a first license: a 6-hour adult driver education course (TDLR form ADE-1317). (source)
- Driving safety (defensive driving): a 6-hour course, used for ticket dismissal when a court approves. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) before you enroll.
