Texas Drivers License Endorsements

In most situations, drivers license endorsements are used for granting you additional driving privileges without having you to apply for a different type of drivers license. Most of the Texas driver's license endorsements apply to commercial drivers licenses and thus won't be useful to those who currently hold a regular class C license. However, there are exceptions to this trend, such as a motorcycle endorsement. A motorcycle endorsement can be added to any regular drivers license.

Texas Drivers Education — 18 to 24 — Identity Verification

According to the current law in Texas, drivers license applicants between 18 and 24 years of age must participate in a 6 hour Texas drivers education course. Just like parent taught drivers ed courses for Texas, the 6 hour driver education class can be completed online, however there's a catch there. Even though you will be taking the drivers education class online, the state requires you to verify your identity. There is a number of ways the identify verification can be done and you can always check the details with your online Texas drivers education course provider.

Texas Drivers License Restrictions

In order to improve the safety of your driving, the Department of Public Safety may choose to place one or more restriction onto your Texas drivers license. Some of the Texas driver's license restrictions are only temporary and can be removed by taking additional exams or meeting the requirements set by the DPS. Texas provisional driver's license restrictions is an example of such temporary limitations, as they are removed once the licensee meets all Texas graduated license requirements. All Texas driver license restriction codes can be found in the official driver's handbook.

Apply for Texas Drivers License

Applying for a drivers license in any state may be a confusing and overwhelming experience, especially if you have never been licensed before. Applying for a Texas drivers license is even more confusing now, since some of the licensing regulations have been recently changed, but the official drivers handbook still displays outdated information. If you are using official sources of information when researching the process of applying for a drivers license in Texas, make sure you read the DPS website as it gets updated more frequently than the handbook. You can also call the DPS directly and they will instruct you how you can apply for a Texas driving license.

In 2010, 20 additional hours of supervised driving were also added to the graduated license requirements. The program was designed to reduce the number of traffic accidents among teen drivers and it achieves this goal by enforcing compulsory education and permit restrictions onto all drivers who are younger than 18.

This will allow students to make more educated decisions when the time comes to select the drivers education program and also help the Department to identify driving schools that are not doing a great job at teaching drivers ed.
