How do I get a duplicate certificate of completion for a driver education course?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To request a duplicate DE-964 or DE-964E certificate, contact the driver education school you attended.<br>If you took a&nbsp;<strong>Parent-Taught Driver Education<\/strong>&nbsp;course, reach out to the provider that issued your parent-taught program materials.<\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. How long is a teen driver education course?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For individuals age 14 to 17 years old the current minimum number of classroom hours is 24 (previously 32). In addition, the student must complete a total of 44 hours in a vehicle. 7 hours of instructional driving, 7 hours of observation and 30 hours of logged driving (10 of which must take place after dark). <\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. How long is an adult driver education course?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals aged 18 to 24 must attend a 6 hour adult driver education course. While individuals 25 years and older are not required to attend a driver education course it can be easier to complete that course as it includes the required 40 question signs and rules test. <\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. My child dropped out of high school and was told they can&#8217;t get a license until age 18. Is that true?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. In Texas, individuals under 18 must be&nbsp;<strong>enrolled and attending school<\/strong>&nbsp;to qualify for a driver&#8217;s license\u2014unless they have a&nbsp;<strong>high school diploma or GED<\/strong>.<\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. I turned 18 while taking a 32-hour\/24-hour teen driver education course. Can I count the hours toward the 6-hour adult course?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Hours from a teen driver education course&nbsp;<strong>cannot<\/strong>&nbsp;be credited toward the adult driver education requirement. You must complete either the full 6-hour adult course or finish the full teen driver program.<\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Can I transfer from one driver education school to another?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. You can transfer to another licensed Texas driver education school.<br>For transfer procedures, contact the&nbsp;<strong>Driver Education and Safety Program staff<\/strong>.<\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Can I transfer my hours from an out-of-state driving school to Texas?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Texas does not accept out-of-state driving course hours. You must complete a state-approved Texas driver education program to qualify for a learner\u2019s permit or license.<\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Can I take a driver education course in American Sign Language (ASL)?<\/strong><\/h4> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. A driver education course in&nbsp;<strong>ASL<\/strong>&nbsp;is available through certain licensed providers.<br>It is optional and designed for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. To receive a certificate of completion, the course must be taken through a licensed Texas driver education school.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask the school directly if they offer the ASL version\u2014<strong>TDLR does not track which schools provide it<\/strong>.<\/p> <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driver Education FAQs 1.
