Texas Driving School FAQ's
Is Texas Driving School an approved driving school in Texas?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer hands-on driving courses in Texas.

Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in Texas?
Each state has its own rules regarding driver training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised driver training as a substitute for enrolling in a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor. However, not all states allow this. You should contact the Texas DMV to find out for sure.
What if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift automobile? Does Texas Driving School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?
