Here’s an interesting, informative and educational synopsis of an online Texas driver education course for a friend.

Texas Driver Education:

Texas State offers a parent taught Texas driver education course, not the cumbersome thick printout, but a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) approved online Texas driver education course, certified as course #107. This course can be taken online, or via a 3 CD-ROM set, in the comfort of your home in your own time. In many rural areas of Texas traditional driver education courses are simply not available. However, the state requires teens to complete a state approved course to receive their drivers license before the age of 18. This Texas driver’s ed course is state approved and once completed, you will receive a Certificate of Completion certifying completion of a state approved course.

Here’s how the Online Texas Driver Education Course works:

At age 15, you can apply for your Texas learners permit, through the state of Texas (a sample for that is mailed in) indicating you will be taking a parent taught course. Next, you enroll in an online state approved course. After completing the first six hours of the course, being 15 years old, passing a vision test and other state requirements (ie: enrollment in school), you can take the written exam for your learners permit. The course helps prepare you for the written test.

Once you pass the written test and receive your Texas learners permit, you’ll continue the course online. The parent/guardian will assist the teen with the driving requirements and certify their time spent behind the wheel. One of the main benefits of this course is convenience of time and assurance of complete guidance. Once the student completes the course, the state certified Certificate of Completion that your local DPS office will need would be mailed to you.

After holding your learners permit for at least six months, completing the course, being at least 16 years old and meeting state requirements, you can apply for your Texas drivers license. It’s a simple process with a checklist of what to take to your local DPS office to ensure a hassle-free goal of receiving your Texas drivers license.
