Hinojosa Driving SchoolFAQ's

Can you tell me if Hinojosa Driving School is a licensed driver training school in Texas?
Although Hinojosa Driving School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach driver training courses in Texas.  We recommend either calling Hinojosa Driving School directly or the Texas DMV to find out whether or not Hinojosa Driving School offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in Texas, so taking a Portland driver training course like the one Hinojosa Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Texas DMV or a licensed driving school like Hinojosa Driving School and ask them.  While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
I have no clue how to drive a manual-shift vehicle. What happens if Hinojosa Driving School makes me train on a stick-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....stick OR automatic!  If you prefer to do your hands-on driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Hinojosa Driving School and let them know before you enroll in their driver training course.  That way you'll know for sure whether Hinojosa Driving School can accommodate you before you pay them any money.
Since I live way out in the country where driving on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Hinojosa Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in the country, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Hinojosa Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain.  We recommend that you contact Hinojosa Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my learner's permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a learner's permit.  We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Hinojosa Driving School or the Texas DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in Texas.
Do you know if the laws in Texas require new teen-aged drivers to take a behind-the-wheel training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course?
