Take the Texas written test online!

Yes. Your course includes the official Texas written knowledge test required for licensing.

Instead of taking the written exam at the DPS, you complete it online inside your approved driver education course. Once you pass and complete the course requirements, your results are included with your certificate for the next step in the DPS process.

No. The State of Texas does not make the online written test available as a separate standalone test.

The online written test can only be offered as part of an approved Texas driver education course. That is why you choose the course that fits your age first, then complete the written test online inside that course.

If you only want to take the written test without a course, you would need to take it through the regular DPS process instead.

Yes. After you complete your course and written test, your certificate includes the written test results the DPS needs to see.

You can save it, print it, and bring it with you for the next step in your Texas licensing process. This is what lets you move forward without taking the written exam at the DPS office.

Yes, but not for the written test.

You may still need to visit the DPS for things like identity verification, permit or license processing, vision screening, photos, documents, and the road test, depending on your situation. This course takes care of the written test requirement online, so you do not have to take the written exam at the DPS office.

Choose based on your age and how you want to complete driver education.

If you are 18 or older, choose the Adults 18+ course.

If you are under 18, choose a teen course. Pick Teen Parent-Taught if a parent or eligible adult will be your instructor. Pick Teen Instructor-Led if you want the driving school to guide the course instead.

All options include the Texas written test online.

Yes. Texas drivers ages 18–24 need to complete an approved adult driver education course before getting licensed.

The Adults 18+ course is built for this path. It includes the required adult driver education lessons, the official Texas written test online, and an electronic certificate after completion.

Yes. If you are 25 or older, you can still choose the Adults 18+ course to take the Texas written test online.

For many adults 25+, this is the easier path because it lets you prepare, take the written test from home, and avoid taking the written exam at the DPS. You also get unlimited written test attempts and receive your certificate electronically after completion.

Both options are for Texas drivers under 18, and both include the Texas written test online.

Teen Parent-Taught is for students who will complete driver education with a parent or eligible adult instructor. This is a good fit if your family wants to manage the instruction at home.

Teen Instructor-Led is for students who want the driving school to guide the course instead. This is a better fit if you do not have an eligible parent instructor or prefer a school-led option.

No big deal. Your course includes unlimited written test attempts.

If you do not pass the first time, you can keep practicing, review the material, and try again. You are not stuck, and you do not have to go take the written exam at the DPS just because you missed it once online.

Your course includes unlimited written test attempts, so you can keep trying until you pass.

If you decide to stop before passing, you can request a full refund. That means you are not paying just to try once. You get the course, the practice, the written test, and the chance to retake it until you pass.

Yes. After you complete the course requirements and written test, your certificate is delivered electronically.

Your certificate shows that you completed the course and includes the written test results DPS needs to see. You can save it, print it, and bring it with you for the next step in your Texas licensing process.
