Riverstone Driving AcademyFAQ's
Riverstone Driving Academy is listed on your website as a driving school which offers driver training courses. How do I know if Riverstone Driving Academy is a certified school in Texas?

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 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.
I can't operate a stick-shift. Will Riverstone Driving Academy allow me to do my driver training on an automatic-shift vehicle?

Now that I'm 14, will Texas allow me to get an instruction permit to drive?
