RGV Driving AcademyFAQ's
Can you tell me if RGV Driving Academy is a licensed driver training school in Texas?
Although RGV Driving Academy is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach behind-the-wheel training courses in Texas. We recommend either calling RGV Driving Academy directly or the Texas DMV to find out whether or not RGV Driving Academy offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to attend a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to do your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you ask 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 operate a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does RGV Driving Academy 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 stick or an automatic, you probably should call RGV Driving Academy to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their driver training course.
I live in a small rural community, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with RGV Driving Academy include learning how to drive in rural areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to know how to drive safely in the local area. Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from RGV Driving Academy will include handling dirt roads and mountain driving.
I'm turning 14 in a few months. Can I get a learner's permit to drive in Texas after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for an instruction permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the Texas DMV office or a Texas-certified driving school such as RGV Driving Academy to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Do you know if the laws in Texas require new teen-aged drivers to register for a driver training course in addition to a driver ed classroom or online course?
The laws vary from state to state, but many states do require you to take a behind-the-wheel training course with "hands-on" practice in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course.
Texas law says that I must enroll in a hands-on driver training course in order to get licensed to drive in Mission Texas. Is this something that RGV Driving Academy can help me with?
Yes, RGV Driving Academy offers the Texas-approved driver training course. For more information about their classes and instruction schedule, please contact RGV Driving Academy directly.
What do I need to do to get a driver's license in Mission Texas?
It depends on Texas's laws, but most states require new, teen-aged drivers to sign up to take a safe driving classroom course as well as a driver training course. You may want to call RGV Driving Academy to see if they offer the behind-the-wheel training course that would satisfy the regulations set forth by the Texas DMV.
I live in Mission Texas and would like to apply for my first driver's license. Do I need to take a driver training course before I can be licensed?
Texas law mandates that all new drivers sign up for an approved behind-the-wheel training program before receiving their Texas driver's license. RGV Driving Academy may offer a driver training course that you are looking for. Please contact RGV Driving Academy directly for complete information as to what types of behind-the-wheel training courses they offer.
Can I sign up to take a Texas-certified behind-the-wheel training course even if I don't have my Texas learners permit yet?
Most likely, no. Most states have laws that require a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a Texas learners permit before registering in a Texas behind-the-wheel training course. It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as RGV Driving Academy and ask for more information.
