Get your Texas driver’s license quickly and easily with our Online 6 Hour Adult Drivers Education course. Here’s how it works in 5 easy steps!

STEP 1: Sign up for the Houston Driving School Adult 6HR Online Course

• If you’re 18-24 years old, Texas requires you to take an adult drivers ed course before getting your license. Our 6-hour online course gives you the flexibility to study when and where you want.
• If you’re 25 or older, a drivers ed course is not mandatory, but we highly recommend it. If you haven’t taken a course, you’ll need to pass a written exam at the DPS. Our course lets you take that test online, saving you a trip to the DPS.

STEP 2: Receive your completion certificate

• After completing the course, pass the final exam on road signs and rules. You will need to pass the exam with a score of at least 70%.
• If you fail the exam, you can retake it as many times as you need to BUT you can only take it once per day.
• Passing this exam means you won’t have to retake the written exam at the DPS!

STEP 3: Complete the Impact Texas Adult Drivers Program (ITAD)

• Watch a free one-hour video on the dangers of distracted driving through the ITAD program.
• After completion, you’ll receive a certificate to bring with you to the DPS.

STEP 4: Get a Learners Permit (optional)

• Make an appointment at a DPS office and bring your course completion certificate along with all the other necessary documents (We’ll walk you through this and give you a checklist to follow at the end of the online course).
• Adults aren’t required to take driving lessons, but if you want practice before the road test, get a learners permit.
• When you get an Adult Learner’s Permit you can then practice with a local driving school or someone over 21 with a valid Texas license.

STEP 5: Pass your DPS Driving Test and Get your License!

• Schedule a driving test at a local DPS office or if you opted to get an Adult Learner Permit, you can take your road test at a driving school near you that is authorized to offer the DPS road test.
• If you’re 18-24, present your drivers ed and ITAD completion certificates before the driving test.
• If you’re 25 or older and haven’t taken a drivers ed course, you must pass a written exam at the DPS.
• You’ll also need to pass a vision test, regardless of age. Remember to wear glasses or contacts if needed.
• Once you pass the driving test, congratulations! You’re officially a licensed Texas driver.
