TOE Driving Academy, Inc.FAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-licensed by the Texas DMV to offer driver training courses in Texas?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently accredited to offer driving training courses in Texas. We suggest you contact the Texas DMV to make sure a particular driver training school is certified before you sign up to take their driver training course.
Will the Texas DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
Possibly. Some states will allow your parents to supervise your driving practice in place of taking a driver training course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Texas DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in Texas.
Do I need to tell TOE Driving Academy, Inc. that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to drive a stick-shift car.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask TOE Driving Academy, Inc. if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift car before you sign up to take their driver training course.
What happens to those of us who live in a remote area? Will TOE Driving Academy, Inc. include instruction on how to drive on dirt roads, mountain roads, and other bumpy terrain?
If you live in a rural location, there is a high probability that a local driving school like TOE Driving Academy, Inc. will either want--or even be required--to tailor their instruction towards driving safely in your particular locale.
I'm turning 14 in a few weeks. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in Texas after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for an instruction permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the Texas DMV office or a Texas-certified driving school such as TOE Driving Academy, Inc. to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Do I have to take both a defensive driving classroom course and a driver training course in Midland Texas to get my Texas driver's license?
The laws vary depending on which state you live in, but most states do require that pre-licensed drivers register for a defensive driving classroom course and a behind-the-wheel training course. You may want to call a driving instruction company like TOE Driving Academy, Inc. and find out if they offer either (or both) of these programs.
I have to complete a behind-the-wheel class in Midland Texas before Texas will give me my driver's license. Does TOE Driving Academy, Inc. offer this type of course?
TOE Driving Academy, Inc. does offer the driver training course in Midland Texas that is required by the State of Texas. You will need to contact TOE Driving Academy, Inc. directly for more information about the behind-the-wheel courses they offer and their class schedules.
Do I have to take drivers education to get a Texas driver's license?
Drivers education requirements vary depending on which state you live in, but you should be aware that most states require new, teen-aged drivers to complete both a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course. You may wish to contact the Texas DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to fulfill in order to obtain your first driver's license.
What does the law in Texas say about driver training courses? Do I have to take one to get my driver's license?
Yes, you do. Texas law states that new drivers successfully complete an approved behind-the-wheel training course as a prerequisite to getting their first driver's license.
Do I need to have my instruction permit before I enroll in a driver training course like the one that TOE Driving Academy, Inc. offers?
