Texas Driver Learner’s Permit–Final Driver’s Test Requirements

It’s been 6 Months now since me and Brent [my 16 years old son] started his driver’s training.  So far, me and my wife feel that he is ready for the real world.  I have to re-read the Parent Taught Packet to know what to do next.  Also, I did not know that there is a DPS office just 10 minutes away from my house.  We normally go to Georgetown for DPS matters.  I did not know.  This will make the task simpler.

WHO CAN SCHEDULE A DRIVING TEST ONLINE? Two groups of people can use this online service to schedule a driving test:
• Teenagers who have a Texas learner license
• Adults who have applied for a driver license and have passed the knowledge (written) test
NOTE : Minor restricted driver license (hardship license) applicants cannot schedule driving tests online. Those tests must be scheduled in an office. If you are not part of the two above groups, you cannot schedule online at this time. Please visit a driver license office to schedule a driving test appointment.

3. If you’re younger than 25, bring proof of driver education. Depending on the type of class you took, you will bring either:

If the vehicle belongs to you, you must comply with all requirements before you can test with it. If you use a rental vehicle for the test, the person taking the driving test must be listed on the rental agreement as an authorized driver. You must show proof that the rental vehicle is covered by liability insurance either by accepting the liability damage waiver when you rent the vehicle or by showing proof that your personal auto liability insurance covers rental vehicles.
