Process of Obtaining a Driving License in Texas

Driver’s Licensing in the State of Texas is managed by the Texas Department of Public Safety. With offices in nearly every city around the state.  

Obtaining a driver’s license in the state of Texas starts with meeting age requirements. In the state of Texas, there are two types of driving license with restrictions that is obtained before the 18 years of age, and the second one at 18  or older that comes with full privilege of operating vehicles without restrictions.

In both cases, one is required to pass the driving theory test, after which he/she obtains a provisional license, famously known in some states as the learner’s permit. With the learner’s permit, the holder is then allowed to start learning how to drive including going in public roadway provided he/she with an adult licensed driver in the passenger seat.

The final step is to schedule a driving test with the State Department of Public Safety. Upon passing the driving test, the individual receives the full privilege to individually operate vehicles on public roadways, not only in the State of Texas but in the whole country.

The state department of public safety both administers the tests, issues licenses, but has also availed a public driving handbook that can always be accessible to its website and provided here on edrivingschool.org in the resources section along with other different websites that may be useful for preparing both theory and driving exams.

Our goal here at edrivingschool.org is to aggregate all information that will be helpful to make the process easier carrying along with courses, faq, resources, etc.
