Requirement snapshot
Official-source summary
Texas DPS lists teen learner license age, driver education, VOE, parent/guardian involvement, documents, supervised driving restrictions, and six-month learner holding period. The Texas Driver Handbook states a 70% passing grade for knowledge exams, and DPS fee pages list the under-18 learner license fee.
State-specific study notes
Texas uses a graduated driver license process for teen drivers. The learner license lets a teen practice with a licensed adult in the front passenger seat, but it is not a full license. The important paperwork usually includes driver education proof, school enrollment or attendance documentation, identity and residency documents, Social Security number verification, and the application fee.
Texas permit prep should combine driver handbook review with short knowledge drills. Focus on signs, right-of-way, speed management, following distance, lane changes, and the restrictions attached to a learner license. If your driver education course includes the knowledge exam, still practice the topics before your DPS appointment so the rules stay fresh.
