DriversEd.comFAQ's
Can you tell me if DriversEd.com is a licensed driving school in Texas?
Although DriversEd.com is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently licensed to teach driver training courses in Texas. We recommend either calling DriversEd.com directly or the Texas DMV to find out whether or not DriversEd.com offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in Texas?
Each state has its own rules regarding behind-the-wheel training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for taking a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor. However, not all states allow this. You should contact the Texas DMV to find out for sure.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does DriversEd.com have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a manual-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a manual or an automatic, you probably should call DriversEd.com to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your signing up to take their driver training course.
What happens to those of us who live in a rural area? Will DriversEd.com include instruction on how to drive on dirt roads, mountain roads, and other rugged?

Can I apply for my Texas instruction permit once I turn 14?
