El Paso Driving SchoolFAQ's
El Paso Driving School's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is a licensed driver training school in Texas?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the Texas DMV to offer driver training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact El Paso Driving School directly or check with the Texas DMV to find out for sure if El Paso Driving School is a licensed school.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in Texas, so taking a El Paso driver training course like the one El Paso Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Texas DMV or a licensed driving school like El Paso Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle? Will El Paso Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift automobile?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating any type of vehicle--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact El Paso Driving School and inform them before you enroll in their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will El Paso Driving School train me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain community, chances are that a local driving school like El Paso Driving School will include behind-the-wheel driver training specifically tailored to that terrain.
Now that I'm 14, will Texas allow me to get an instruction permit to drive?
Not likely. Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for an instruction permit. We recommend that your contact the Texas DMV office or a Texas-approved driver training institute such as El Paso Driving School to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in Texas.
Can I take El Paso Driving School's driver training course before taking a El Paso Texas drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Texas's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Texas's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact El Paso Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
I am looking to enroll in a El Paso Texas drivers education course. Can El Paso Driving School assist me with this?
Yes. Drivers education courses are available in El Paso Texas through El Paso Driving School. Please contact El Paso Driving School directly with questions regarding their schedule of classes and registration information.
What type of driver ed do I need before Texas will give me a driver's license?
Each state has its own requirements concerning drivers education, although you should know that most states now require all new, young drivers to sign up to take a drivers education classroom or online course as well as a driver training course. El Paso Driving School may be able to help you fulfill the driver training requirement in Texas. Please contact either El Paso Driving School or the Texas DMV for more information.
Is it necessary for me to take a driver training course in order to get my first Texas driver's license?
Yes, it is. All teen-aged drivers applying for their first driver's license in Texas must complete a state-approved driver training course.
Is it okay for me to register for a driver training class in Texas before I receive my Texas learners permit to drive?
