Mansfield teens can start the TDLR-approved drivers ed course online at 14, do their in-car hours with our certified instructor, and take the DPS road test at our Arlington academy on a Saturday, so test day does not mean missing class.
Mansfield ISD families
If your teen attends a Mansfield ISD school, your teen can learn with a driving school or through the parent-taught route. You can also mix: the online course and parent practice at home, plus a few hours with a certified instructor for the skills that are hardest to teach a family member, like highway merging and parallel parking.
Your teen can practice the exact maneuvers the road test scores: backing in a straight line, parallel parking between standards, and lane changes in traffic. Under Texas rules, the test fails with more than 7 points lost on parallel parking or more than 5 on backing, so those are worth drilling before test day.
Mansfield ISD includes part of south Arlington. If your home address is inside Arlington city limits, pickup is available: free within 5 miles of our office and $15 beyond 5 miles. Homes in the City of Mansfield are outside our pickup area, so those lessons start at the academy.
