Defensive Drivers of TexasFAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-accredited 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 accredited to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Texas. We suggest you contact the Texas DMV to make sure a particular driving school is accredited before you register for their driver training course.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to take a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to do your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle? Will Defensive Drivers of Texas allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle?

However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Defensive Drivers of Texas and let them know before you enroll in their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.

Since Defensive Drivers of Texas is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Defensive Drivers of Texas will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on rough terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Defensive Drivers of Texas to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you register with them.
