The Texas permit test typically takes 20–30 minutes to complete. However, if you’ve already completed an adult drivers ed course, the written test is included, saving you time and simplifying the process. For those who need to take the test separately, practicing with a Texas DPS practice test or reviewing the Texas driver handbook can help you prepare.
If you’re aged 18–24 and have completed the Texas adult drivers ed course, the written test is included as part of the program. This means you won’t need to take it again at the DPS. However, if you’re 25 or older and opt not to take the course, you will need to pass the Texas DPS written test as part of the licensing process.
The Texas driving test evaluates your ability to:
- Safely operate your vehicle in compliance with traffic laws.
- Perform maneuvers such as parallel parking, lane changes, and merges.
- Demonstrate good judgment and awareness of other road users.
To prepare, practice extensively with a qualified supervising driver, review the Texas driver handbook, and consider taking professional driving classes if needed.
In Texas, adults 18 and older are not required to hold a restricted license (learner’s permit) for any specific period before taking the Texas driving test. That said, practicing with a licensed adult is strongly recommended to build the skills and confidence needed to pass the test and drive safely.
A B restriction on a Texas drivers license indicates that the driver must be accompanied by a licensed adult aged 21 or older. This restriction is typically applied to adults holding a restricted license, often referred to as a learner’s permit for adults. Once you pass the Texas DPS behind the wheel test, this restriction is removed.
