Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to enroll in a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to do your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel 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.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a stick-shift? Does Texas Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?

However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call Texas Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their behind-the-wheel training course.
