Apex Driving SchoolFAQ's
Apex Driving School is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Apex Driving School is a licensed school in Texas?
While we include a list of driver training schools on our website for your convenience, we cannot guarantee that every single one of them is currently licensed by the Texas DMV. We suggest you contact Apex Driving School directly or the Texas DMV to find out if Apex Driving School is a fully-accredited driver training school.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to enroll in a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow 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 first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you check with 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 stick-shift vehicle? Will Apex Driving School allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift automobile?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating any type of vehicle--manual-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Apex Driving School and let them know before you enroll in their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
Since I live way out in a remote location where driving on unpaved roads and rugged terrain is the norm, will Apex Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a non-urban environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a rural area, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Apex Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain. We recommend that you contact Apex Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
Can I get my Texas learner's permit once I turn 14?

Am I required to take a Houston Texas classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a driver training course through Apex Driving School?
