Is it true that my mom or dad can be my driving instructor when I do my driver training instead of a professional driver training school instructor like the ones they have at Cherokee Driving School?
It depends on what your state's laws are. You should contact the Texas DMV or a licensed driving school like Cherokee Driving School to find out if Texas allows driver training with a parent.
Do I need to tell Cherokee Driving School that I need to train with an automatic-shift automobile? I don't know how to operate a manual-shift car.

The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will Cherokee Driving School be able to teach me how to drive safely on bumpy terrain as well as in a city or town?

After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my instruction permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a instruction permit. We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Cherokee Driving School or the Texas DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in Texas.
