If you’ve completed a Texas adult drivers ed course, you don’t need to pay for a separate written test, as it is already included in the course.

Travis County residents can save time and effort by choosing a course that combines the test with drivers ed.

While you don’t technically need a traditional learner's permit at 21, you may be issued a restricted license with a “B-restriction.” This acts as a permit, allowing you to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed adult. This option is particularly beneficial for first-time drivers who want to build their confidence before taking the Texas DPS driving test. For Travis County residents, obtaining this restricted license provides a structured way to gain essential driving skills.

The permit test, also known as the Texas DPS written test, evaluates your understanding of traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. If you’re between 18 and 24, this test is included in your Texas adult drivers ed course. For those 25 and older, the test must be taken separately at a DPS office unless you complete the optional course. Travis County residents often find that completing the course is a convenient way to fulfill this requirement.

After passing the Texas DPS driving test, you’ll receive a temporary paper license. This allows you to drive legally while waiting for your official driver’s license, which will be mailed to your address within 2–3 weeks. It’s essential to double-check that your address is correct to avoid delays. For those in Travis County, having a reliable mailing address ensures a smooth transition to receiving your permanent license.
