David L. Carrasco Job Corps CenterFAQ's

David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is a licensed behind the wheel training school in Texas?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses.  We strongly suggest that you contact David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center directly or check with the Texas DMV to find out for sure if David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center is a licensed school.
Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to enroll in a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in.  There are some states which allow you to complete your hands-on driver 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 manual-shift? Does David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let 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 David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their driver training course.
I live in a rural area, that has a lot of dirt roads and bumpy terrain. Will David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center 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 driver training school like David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center will want you to be taught how to drive safely on the local area's terrain.
I just turned 14 years old. Can I apply for my instruction permit in Texas?
Probably not.  The minimum age requirement for holding a learners permit in most states is 15 1/2.  You should contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driver training institute such as David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center to find out more information about the minimum age requirement in Texas. 
Do I have to complete a El Paso Texas drivers education classroom course or online course before enrolling in one of David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center's driver training courses?
Each state has its own laws, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a driver training course plus either a drivers education classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online drivers education course.  You may want to ask David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center if they offer one or both programs.
Texas law says that I must enroll in a hands-on driver training course in order to get licensed to drive in El Paso Texas. Is this something that David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center can help me with?

Do I have to take drivers education to get a Texas driver's license?
Drivers education requirements vary depending on which state you live in, but you should be aware that most states require new, teen-aged drivers to complete both a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course.  You may wish to contact the Texas DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to satisfy in order to obtain your first driver's license.
Is hands-on driver training required in Texas in order to be licensed to drive a car?
Absolutely.  All new drivers in Texas must register for an approved hands-on driver training course before they can get a license to independently drive a motor vehicle.
Is it possible to sign up to take a Texas-certified behind-the-wheel training course before I obtain my Texas learners permit?
It depends on what the specific laws are in Texas, however most states require first-time drivers to receive an instruction permit before registering for a driver training course.  We recommend you contact a driving school such as David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center to obtain more information.
