Yes, you can take the official Texas road test at a driving school. We are a DPS-authorized testing site, so the test you take here is the same Class C road test DPS gives: $75 in your own car or $100 in ours, and you can book any day of the week.

See open timesHow it works
A third party driving test, also called a 3rd party driving test, is the official DPS road test given at an approved school. Texas DPS licenses certain driving schools to give the Class C road test on its behalf. This is the Third Party Skills Testing program. The examiner follows the DPS scoring rules, and a passing result is accepted at any Texas driver license office.
The difference is scheduling and support. DPS road test openings depend on the DPS scheduler. Here you choose a time seven days a week, test from our Arlington office, and can add a practice lesson in the same car right before the exam.
Road test packages
Every package includes the official DPS road test. What changes is whose car you drive and how much practice you want first. Online checkout adds a $1 booking fee and a card processing fee.
You bring an insured, registered car that passes the safety check.
Test in our insured school car. Nothing to bring for the car.
One private lesson in our car, then your official test in the same car.
Mock tests, the official test and help with your DPS license visit.
A full mock test with point-by-point feedback, before the real one.
Eligibility and documents
What you need depends on your age. If a required document is missing, the examiner cannot start the test, so check your list before you come in.
How the test is scored
The Class C road test has three parts, and each one is scored on its own. Going over the limit on any one part fails the whole test. These limits come from 37 Tex. Admin. Code §15.56.
| Test part | You fail with | What is scored |
|---|---|---|
| On-street driving | More than 30 points | Starting, stopping, turns, lane changes, signals, right of way, speed |
| Backing | More than 5 points | Reversing in a straight line under control, looking back over your shoulder |
| Parallel parking | More than 7 points | Parking between the standards and pulling out with a signal and traffic check |

The examiner confirms your learner license, ID and certificates.
Lights, signals, brakes, horn and seat belts, plus insurance if it is your car.
Real traffic near our Arlington office: turns, signals, lane changes and yielding.
