Texas law doesn’t require formal driver education for adults over 25, but If you’re a first-time driver in the (18-24) age range, you do have to complete a full, state-approved, 6 hour course before becoming eligible for the DPS Written Exam.
If you’re a first-time driver in the 25+ age group, the process for getting your learner’s permit or driver’s license is similar to those in the 18-24 age range, but without a required course. However, our online Texas Adult Driver’s Ed course is the easiest way to prepare for the DPS written test. You’ll get access to essential materials and can complete the DPS written exam online—no DPS visits needed.
(Adults over 25 can only take the DPS test online if done together with a 6 hour course. Otherwise, the test will be taken at the DPS office only.)
