Star Defensive Driving FAQ's
Star Defensive Driving's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is a licensed behind the wheel training school in Texas?
Even though we provide a list of driver training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is certified by the Texas DMV to offer driver training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Star Defensive Driving directly or check with the Texas DMV to find out for sure if Star Defensive Driving 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 behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to do 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 driver 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 operate a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Star Defensive Driving have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?

However, if you have a preference as to a manual or an automatic, you probably should call Star Defensive Driving to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their driver training course.
