Teen Drivers Ed
Our Teen Drivers Ed program prepares students aged 14-17 for Texas licensing requirements through 24 hours of live-stream instruction and parent-taught driving hours. The course covers traffic laws, safe driving practices, and prepares students for the DPS written exam and road test. Students receive a certificate for DPS submission and complete the mandatory Impact Texas Teen Driver course.
Adult Drivers Ed
This 6-hour course meets Texas requirements for first-time adult drivers aged 18+. Students complete DPS-approved instruction and written exams either in-person or online, receiving immediate certificate processing. The program includes Impact Texas Young Driver course requirements and prepares students for the final road test at DPS facilities.
Defensive Driving Course
Our defensive driving program helps dismiss traffic tickets and qualify for insurance discounts. Available in-person or online, the 6-hour course covers accident prevention techniques and traffic law compliance. Participants receive official certificates accepted by all Texas courts and can choose between ticket dismissal, insurance discount, or work-related completion options.

Professional driving instruction includes five progressive lesson levels covering parking, residential driving, main streets, and highway navigation.
