For adult drivers aged 18 and older, Texas does not mandate a specific number of in-car driving lessons or supervised practice hours. Unlike teenagers, adults can schedule their Texas DPS driving test as soon as they feel ready.
Nevertheless, we recommend practicing extensively with a licensed adult or taking professional Texas driving classes. Driving lessons can provide hands-on experience with essential skills such as parking, merging, and navigating traffic, increasing your chances of passing the Texas driving test on your first try.
If you’re 18 to 24 years old and complete a Texas adult driver education course, you don’t need to take the DPS written test separately - it’s included in the course.

For those taking the Texas DPS written test, we recommend preparing with a Texas permit practice test. These resources help familiarize you with the format and types of questions you’ll encounter, making test day less intimidating.
