Licensing is not a formality. It is how Texas checks instructors, training cars and course content. If a school is not licensed, its lessons may not count toward a license or an insurance discount.
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)

Rules change, so confirm the details with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) before you enroll.
