How Texas teen driver ed works

Instructor-led course

 

  • 24 hours of classroom instruction, online or in person, through a TDLR-licensed course provider

 

  • 14 hours of in-car instruction with a TDLR-licensed instructor: that’s our Teen 7+7

 

  • Bring the transfer certificate from your classroom provider

Parent-taught (PTDE)

 

  • Classroom through a TDLR-approved parent-taught course

 

  • In-car hours with the designated parent instructor, who must meet TDLR eligibility

 

  • Teens can still book our lesson packages for extra practice

 

Step by step

 

  • Enroll in a driver ed course, instructor-led or parent-taught

 

  • Pass the knowledge exam and get a learner permit (age 15+)

 

  • Finish the in-car instruction: our Teen 7+7, or with the parent instructor

 

  • Get the course completion certificate

Our regular lesson packages don’t count as the driver ed in-car course, but teens can log those hours toward the 30 hours of practice Texas requires. Your instructor signs those log entries.

Teen Driving Packages

To sign up, students need a valid Texas learner permit and the transfer certificate from their classroom course provider. Email the certificate to akdrivingaustin@gmail.com.

Teen 7+7 packages

How the 7+7 works

  • Seven 2-hour sessions: 1 hour of driving and 1 hour of observation each time

  • Students are usually paired: one drives while the other observes, then they switch. Without a partner, the student observes with the instructor

  • Lessons follow the Texas skill progression: vehicle operation and maneuvering, driver readiness, reference points, environmental risk factors, distractions, adverse conditions, and personal responsibility and safety

  • Instructors adjust each session to the student’s skill and experience

Teen road test

Teens take the official DPS road test at our office, in our school car. It's $125 on its own, or included in the Teen Driver + Exam package.

Before booking, your teen must meet all of these:

  • Be at least 16 years old on the day of the test

  • Have held a Texas learner permit for at least 6 months

  • Have finished all driver ed course requirements

  • Have completed the 30 hours of logged practice driving

  • Have completed the IMPACT Texas Teen Drivers course

Full rules: DPS provisional license for teens
