Texas Driving SchoolFAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-certified by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel 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 licensed to offer driving training courses in Texas. We suggest you contact the Texas DMV to make sure a particular driver training school is licensed before you register for their driver training course.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in Texas, so taking a San Antonio driver training course like the one Texas Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Texas DMV or a licensed driver training school like Texas 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 Texas Driving School allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift car?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about driving any type of car--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Texas Driving School and inform them before you register for their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and bumpy terrain all around my house. How do I know if Texas Driving School will train me on how to drive in a remote area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Texas Driving School is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Texas Driving School will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on rugged terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Texas Driving School to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you register with them.
Can I apply for my Texas learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the youngest age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driver training school like Texas Driving School to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Texas.
Will I be required to enroll in both a drivers education classroom or online course and a behind-the-wheel training course in San Antonio Texas?
It depends on which state you live in, but many states now require new teen-aged drivers to successfully complete both a drivers education course as well as a driver training course.
Texas's DMV has told me that I need to take a driver training course. Do you know if Texas Driving School offers this course or not?
Texas Driving School does offer the driver training course that Texas requires all new teen-aged drivers to take. For more information about the courses Texas Driving School offers, we recommend that you contact Texas Driving School directly.
I live in San Antonio Texas. What are the requirements for me to be able to get my first Texas driver's license?
It depends on the particular laws of Texas, but most states require teen-aged first-time license applicants to successfully complete both a drivers education classroom course and a behind-the-wheel training course. Texas Driving School may offer courses which would fulfill the behind-the-wheel training requirement, however you will need to contact them directly to find out exactly what types of courses they offer.
Is there a law in Texas that says I have to take driver training in order to get my driver's license?
Yes. State law in Texas requires that all teen-agers successfully complete an approved driver training course before receiving a Texas driver's license.
Can I enroll in a Texas behind-the-wheel training course prior to having my Texas learners permit?
Most states require pre-licensed drivers to hold a instruction permit before being permitted to register for a behind-the-wheel training course. You should contact a driving school like Texas Driving School and ask for more information.
