How do I know if Driver Education Services is certified by Texas's DMV to offer driver training courses?
While we do include Driver Education Services's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Driver Education Services is licensed by the State of Texas. We recommend that you either contact Driver Education Services directly or possibly the Texas DMV to find out if Driver Education Services is a licensed driver training school.
I've been told that either of my parents can supervise my behind-the-wheel training, so I don't have to attend a Arlington Texas driving school like Driver Education Services to fulfill my driver training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Texas DMV or a state-approved driving school like Driver Education Services to find out. Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
I don't know how to drive using a manual-shift. Will Driver Education Services have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my driver training?
Since you're enrolling in a Arlington Texas driver training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a stick-shift OR an automatic! However, you should let Driver Education Services know what your preference is before enrolling in their behind-the-wheel class. That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
I live in a very remote area, where there are mountains and a lot of dirt roads. Do you know if Driver Education Services offers training for driving in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in city areas?
Since you live in a rural area, a local driving school such as Driver Education Services will tailor your driver training to handle the conditions in your area.
Now that I'm 14, will Texas allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
Not likely. Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for a learner's permit. We recommend that your contact the Texas DMV office or a Texas-approved driving school such as Driver Education Services to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in Texas.
Do I have to complete a Arlington Texas drivers education classroom course or online course before enrolling in one of Driver Education Services's driver training courses?
Each state has its own rules, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a behind-the-wheel training course plus either a defensive driving classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online defensive driving course. You may want to ask Driver Education Services if they offer one or both programs.

Do I have to take drivers education to get a Texas driver's license?
Drivers education requirements vary depending on which state you live in, but you should be aware that most states require new, teen-aged drivers to complete both a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course. You may wish to contact the Texas DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to satisfy in order to obtain your first driver's license.
What does the law in Texas say about driver training courses? Do I have to take one to get my driver's license?
Yes, you do. Texas law states that new drivers successfully complete an approved behind-the-wheel training course as a prerequisite to getting their first driver's license.
Will Texas allow me to enroll in a driver training course before I actually receive my instruction permit?
You will need to contact your state's DMV office to find out. However, most states require that you receive your instruction permit before you register with a driver training course.
