I've been told that either of my parents can supervise my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Texas driving school like Texas Driving Academy to fulfill my behind-the-wheel training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Texas DMV or a state-approved driver training school like Texas Driving Academy to find out. Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
Do I need to tell Texas Driving Academy that I need to train with an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle.

The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will Texas Driving Academy be able to teach me how to drive safely on rugged terrain as well as in a city or town?
Considering that you live in a rural area, chances are excellent that a local driving school like Texas Driving Academy will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and other types of bumpy terrain.

We recommend that you contact Texas Driving Academy directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
