During the Texas DPS driving test, you’ll be required to parallel park within 18 inches of the curb. This tests your ability to control the vehicle and judge distances accurately.
To prepare, practice parallel parking in a safe location with cones or markers simulating real-world conditions. This practice will build confidence and help you excel during the test.
After passing the Texas DPS drivers test, you’ll receive a temporary paper license immediately. The permanent Texas driver’s license is typically mailed within two to three weeks.
If you experience delays, ensure the mailing address you provided is correct and contact the DPS for updates. For Harris County residents, processing times may vary slightly depending on demand.
