Are you wondering what to do when your teen turns 15 years old? If so, teens may take the Driver’s Education course and receive their permit, but must wait until they turn 16 years old to get drivers license.
You can start anytime after you turn age 15. Just follow the steps below!
Step One: Take Driver's Education at
Step Two: Obtain Your Permit From the DMV To obtain a Permit, you will receive your DL 964 Form (green form) from East Texas Driving School. You will also get with your DL 40 and DL 14A (application for your permit), which should be completed, but do not sign your signature until you are at the DMV. Students must return to class after they have obtained their permit to complete the remainder of the course. If not, their permits will be cancelled.
You will also take the VOE Form (Verification of Enrollment) from your high school, original birth certificate and social security card – no copies.
At the DMV you will need to perform a vision test, fingerprint and take a photograph for your permit. The cost for a permit is $16.00 for teens.
If you have signed up for classroom and driving, you will start your driving lessons after you receive your permit. Drive times will be scheduled by the instructor. In cases of inclement weather, drive times will be rescheduled.
Step Three: Driver's Training (Behind-The-Wheel) Driver's Training is accomplished in a vehicle with a licensed DMV instructor. It can be taken any day of the week with an appointment. Keep in mind though; we will not schedule a teenager who does not currently possess a valid permit. In-car driving will include 7 hours of driving and 7 hours of observation; only if you choose to take the classroom and driving portion with us. Parents will be required to do the additional 20 hours of driving. East Texas Driving School will provide the necessary driving log you will need to take to the DPS office for the additional 20 hours of driving that is required.
