Out of state hours do not transfer to Texas. You will need to enroll into a Texas driver education program to complete the classroom and driving requirements necessary to obtain a Texas learner's permit and driver license. Please check with DPS for more information on transferring your learner license to Texas .

No. Teen driver education classroom hours cannot be applied to the 6-hour adult driver education classroom hour requirements. You must complete the full adult driver course or complete the full teen driver education program.

The Verification of Enrollment is used to verify a teen's enrollment status in a high school or homeschool program and that they are in good standing with their attendence. Students with excessive absences or tardies will not be issued a VOE.

The VOE is required for a teen to receive a learner permit and license. The VOE is valid for 30 days. If it expires before a student can go to the DPS, they will need to get another from their high school/home school program.

Teens are allowed to miss up to five class days or 10 classroom hours. These classes can be made up by attending the next time the lesson is held. For example, if you miss day 5, 10, and 13, then you need to come in on day 5, 10, and 13 of another class.

The system will allow you to view the upcoming appointments, however you will need to submit your permit information and payment before you can book an appointment.

Yes, Texas law requires all teens to complete BTW training with a licensed instructor to obtain a driver's license.

A Parent Taught (PTDE) student may transfer to a licensed driver education school but they would have to complete the full 14-hour BTW training with the licensed school, which means they could not transfer partial hours for this section.

The student would obtain a transfer certificate from their PTDE course provider and then enroll into the licensed driver education school. After completion of the 14- hour BTW training the student will be issued a new DE-964 with only the BTW portion completed.

If you need to change or cancel a drive time, you must sign into your account on our website. Drive time must be canceled 4 hours in advance or a $35.00 fee will be applied. Additional drive time will not be scheduled until the no show fee is paid in full.

To get a duplicate certificate of completion (the DE-964 or DE-964E Certificate of Completion), contact the driver education school you attended. If you completed a parent taught course, contact the parent taught course provider. 

Hutto Driving School requires a duplicate certificate fee of $25.00.

Texas will allow you to drive in another state with a learner's permit, but because policies do change, it is best to contact the DMV or DPS in the states you are planning to visit. The following states ban permitted drivers: Arizona, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, and the District of Columbia.

A paper learner's permit is valid for 30 days. If you have not received your learner's permit in the mail by the third week, you can track it by visiting the TX DPS website.  If you drive with an expired paper permit, you can receive a citation for an invalid license.

Parents must prove their relationship to the student before the student will be issued a permit or license. Acceptable documentation includes a marriage license, birth certificate, military dependent ID card, or adoption records.

Parents must also provide two documents proving they are Texas residents before the teen is eligible to obtain a permit or license. Acceptable documents include Texas voter's registration card, Texas auto registration or title, auto insurance policy or statement, homeowner's insurance policy, or utility or cable bill not more than 90 days old. The name on the bills/statements must be the name of the parent accompanying the student to the DPS. Parents must also sign a Texas Residency Affidavit at the DPS office.
