Texas Parent Taught Driver Education

New Texas drivers under the age of 18 must complete an approved driver education course before they receive a driver's license. Teens are allowed to complete driver's education through our Texas Parent-Taught Drivers Education program if they are between the ages of 14 and 17. With this particular program, parents instruct their teenagers using a self-guided curriculum online. While taking this informative and easy-to-follow course, the student will learn Texas specific regulations, laws and driving techniques. Acquiring this knowledge is the first step in becoming a defensive driver.

Although teens are allowed to start their driver's education course at the age of 14, they can not obtain a learner's permit until they are at least 15 years old.

To register as a parent taught trainer through the state of Texas, you must fill out this request form and send a $20 application fee to the address on the form.

Please refer to the parent instructor qualifications before requesting for a Texas Parent-Taught Drivers Ed program.

After completing the Texas Parent-Taught Drivers Education program with Texas Teen Driver's Education, the student will take the Instruction Permit test at the Driver License Office.
