Getting your Temple teen on the road
Texas teens ages 14–17 need a state-approved driver education course before they can get a learner license. Our online course covers the required classroom instruction and includes the permit test, so your teen can knock out the hardest part from the couch instead of a weekend classroom. Parents who want to teach behind-the-wheel hours themselves can use the parent-taught path; families who’d rather have professional in-car instruction can add behind-the-wheel training.
Pick the program that fits your family. All options are approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and include the permit test.

How Texas teen licensing works
The path is straightforward: your teen completes the approved driver education course and passes the permit test, gets their learner license, practices supervised driving, and then takes the DPS road test to earn a provisional license. Our course handles the education and permit-test steps; you choose whether to supervise the driving yourself or add behind-the-wheel lessons.

How old does my teen have to be?
Texas teens can start an approved driver education course at age 14, and the learner license can be issued once they’ve met the requirements. The course is designed for ages 14–17.
What’s the difference between parent-taught and the teen course?
Both cover the same state-approved classroom material and permit test. With parent-taught, a parent supervises the required behind-the-wheel hours; the full package adds professional in-car training instead.
Is the permit test included?
Yes. All of our teen options include the permit (knowledge) test, so your teen can complete it as part of the course.
Is it really 100% online?
The classroom portion is fully online and self-paced. Behind-the-wheel driving is done in a real car, either with a parent or with an instructor if you choose the training package.
