We strive to provide the best education to all of our students and help them become safe and courteous drivers.  Educating our students on following the rules of the road, executing driving techniques and being a patient and courteous driver could make the difference between life and death.  Therefore, we take our role as teachers and educators very seriously and the safety of all our students is our main goal.

New Law for Teen Drivers-Effective Sept. 1, 2009. 

- All teens must take a DPS road test to obtain a Texas Driver License at the age of 16 after holding a learners permit for 6 months.  This new law applies to all teens that apply for a driver license on or after September 1, 2009 regardless of they have taken driver education.

-The permit fee increases from $5.00 to $15.00 dollars.   So cost of Texas permit is $15.00, but the permit will expire on teen's 18th birthday. 

-The Graduated Driver License law has changed phase 2 restrictions for holders from 6 months to one year.  These restrictions include limited night driving,  prohibited use of wireless communication devises and a limited number of passengers in the car. 

-Students must go to the D.P.S. to obtain their learners permit.  Driving Schools are no longer taking packets and D.P.S. is no longer accepting packets from Driving Schools. Homeland Security is requiring that all permits and licenses have a picture on them.  Therefore all students must go to the D.P.S. in person to obtain their Texas Learners Permit.  Houston Area Driving Schools will give students a list of items needed for permit test along with D.P.S locations.
