I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in Texas, so taking a Grapevine driving school course like the one Green Light Driving Academy offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Texas DMV or a licensed driver training school like Green Light Driving Academy and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
I don't know how to drive using a manual-shift. Will Green Light Driving Academy have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my driver training?
Since you're enrolling in a Grapevine Texas behind-the-wheel training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a stick-shift OR an automatic! However, you should let Green Light Driving Academy know what your preference is before signing up to take 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 Green Light Driving Academy 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 remote area, a local driving school such as Green Light Driving Academy will tailor your behind-the-wheel training to handle the conditions in your area.

Most states have set the minimum age for applying for an instruction permit at 15 or 15 1/2. However, some states do allow 14-year-olds to get a learner's permit. You may want to contact the Texas DMV or a Texas-approved driver training school like Green Light Driving Academy to find out what the minimum age to drive is in Texas.
Am I required to take a Grapevine Texas classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a behind-the-wheel training course through Green Light Driving Academy?
