Back in the day, turning 18 meant walking into the DPS, taking the test, and walking out with a driver’s license.
However, times have changed, and if you’re in Benbrook or anywhere else in Texas, the process for new drivers aged 18 to 24 now involves a few additional steps.
Yes, even adults under 25 are required to complete a state-approved adult driver education course before they can get their license. It can be taken online or in person, and it covers the essentials of safe driving. Once that’s done, the applicant still has to pass both the written and behind-the-wheel tests at the DPS.
If you’re 25 or older, you’re exempt from the class but still need to pass the tests. Either way, a little practice behind the wheel helps, especially if it’s been a while since you’ve been in the driver’s seat.
