Which drivers ed course do I need in Texas?
It depends on your age. Teens 14 to 17 need the 24-hour course plus 14 hours in the car. Adults 18 to 24 need the 6-hour adult course. At 25 and older, no course is required, but lessons help you get ready for the road test.
Can I take drivers ed online in Texas?
Yes. Our 24-hour teen course and 6-hour adult course are TDLR-approved and taken online. The in-car part happens with an instructor in Arlington, or with an eligible parent for parent-taught families.
Do you have in-person driving classes near me?
Our in-person training happens in the car: private lessons, teen behind-the-wheel hours and the road test, all from our office at W Arkansas Ln and S Cooper St in Arlington. We do not run an in-person classroom course.

At our school: the teen online course is $99, the teen Full Package is $530, parent-taught is $109, the adult 6-hour course is $75, private lessons are $70 each, a 90-minute senior lesson is $120 and the DPS road test starts at $75.
Do adults need drivers ed in Texas?
Only if you are 18 to 24 and getting your first license. Then the 6-hour adult course is required. At 25 and older it is optional. For any adult who takes it, the course final exam can count as the DPS knowledge test.
Do you pick up students for lessons?
Yes, inside Arlington. Pickup is free within 5 miles of the office (the UTA campus is within this) and $15 beyond 5 miles. We do not pick up outside Arlington.
