1. Purchase Aceable’s Texas drivers license course and finish the six-hour course and written test.
2. Wait for your Certificate of Completion to arrive in your email within one hour of your course completion.
3. If you’re 18-24 years old, complete the free 1-hour Impact Texas Young Drivers course (not presently required for 25+)
4. Head to the DPS, pass the vision and driving exams, and get your license!

The state-approved DPS written test will be provided to you at the very end of the 6 hour adult driving course (8 levels). This means that you won’t need to take the written test at the DPS! The test will consist of 30 multiple-choice questions. You have one hour to complete the test and must score at least 70% or better (at least 21 out of 30 questions correct) in order to pass and receive a Certificate of Completion from Aceable. If you fail the written test, you can take it again 24 hours later. There is no limit on how many times you can take it and you don’t need to pay again to take it more than once.

Adults in Texas aren’t required to show proof of a set number of behind-the-wheel practice hours completed. However, you do need to take a driving test in order to get your license. Therefore, if you’ve never been behind-the-wheel or aren’t quite comfortable with your driving skills, it’s recommended that you get a permit before getting your license. That way you can practice driving and return to the DPS when you’re ready to ace the driving test.

• Proof of Texas residency (bring two): deed, mortgage statement, valid and unexpired Texas voter registration card, utility bills, etc.
• Marriage license, divorce decree, or court ordered name change: Only if you’re using a name other than what’s on your birth certificate
