An online 6-hour Adult Drivers Ed program that is TDLR Certified and includes a Written Test. Drivers above 18 years old are eligible to take this course to obtain a learner’s permit.

Every Texan driver under 18 years of age who is getting behind the wheel for the first time must successfully finish a Texas state-endorsed 24-hour Driver Education Course. This course, which is fully approved by the state, can be completed entirely online, offering a hassle-free way to meet the requirements and apply for a Texas Learner Permit and Driver’s License. [Note: Upon enrolling in the online course, a $20 fee is required to be paid to TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation) to confirm the eligibility of the parent as the instructor for the student.]

The parent taught program is complex and requires parents, guardians, and designees to work with multiple entities. The Driver Education Teen course consists of a minimum of 24 hours of classroom instruction, 7 hours of in-car observation, 7 hours of behind the wheel supervised instruction, and 30 additional hours of behind the wheel instruction.

Before beginning a parent taught course, thoroughly read all webpages to avoid unnecessary costs, delays, or invalidated training hours.
