Baytown Driving SchoolFAQ's
Is Baytown Driving School a certified driving school in Texas?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Texas. We highly recommend that you contact Baytown Driving School directly or the Texas DMV to find out for sure if Baytown Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that have been approved by the State of Texas.
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 driver training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised driver training as a substitute for attending 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.
I have no clue how to drive a stick-shift vehicle. What happens if Baytown Driving School makes me train on a stick-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....stick OR automatic! If you prefer to do your behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Baytown Driving School and let them know before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you'll know for certain whether Baytown Driving School will be able to accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live in a rural area, that has a lot of dirt roads and rugged terrain. Will Baytown Driving School train me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?
If you live in a rural area, chances are very good that a local driving school like Baytown Driving School will want you to be trained in driving specific to the local area's terrain.
Can 14-year-olds get instruction permits to drive in Texas?
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 Baytown Driving School to find out what the minimum age to drive is in Texas.
Can I take Baytown Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Baytown Texas drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Texas's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Texas's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you contact Baytown Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
Texas's DMV has told me that I need to take a driver training course. Do you know if Baytown Driving School offers this course or not?
Baytown Driving School does offer the driver training course that Texas requires all new teen-aged drivers to take. For more information about the courses Baytown Driving School offers, we recommend that you contact Baytown Driving School directly.
What steps do I have to take in order to get a Texas drivers license in Baytown Texas?

Baytown Driving School may be able to help you meet the driver training portion in Texas. Please contact Baytown Driving School for more information.
Is hands-on driver training required in Texas in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle?
Absolutely. All new drivers in Texas are required to take an approved driver training course before they can be issued a license to independently operate a motor vehicle.
Can I enroll in 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 mandate a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a Texas instruction permit before registering in a Texas behind-the-wheel training course. It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as Baytown Driving School and ask for more information.
