Is The Texas Driving Academy a licensed driving school in Texas?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer hands-on driving courses in Texas.

That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.

You may wish to contact The Texas Driving Academy to find out exactly what their behind-the-wheel training course includes before registering for their training course.
