Get your Driving License

You must be at least 15 years old to be eligible. However, it's recommended to start preparing for this day well in advance, as several requirements must be met before you can apply. One of the most important requirements is the completion of a Texas driver's education program. This program is mandatory for all teenage applicants and the legal age for starting driver's ed is 14. Therefore, it's a good idea to begin taking driver's ed classes well before you turn 15.

To take the driver license exam in Texas, you will need to bring the following documents:

• A completed application for a Texas driver license or identification card (DL-14A)
• Proof of identity, such as a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate
• Proof of lawful presence, if you are not a U.S. citizen
• Proof of Social Security number, such as a Social Security card, W-2 form, or pay stub
• Proof of Texas residency, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement
• Proof of vehicle registration and insurance, if you own a vehicle
• Proof of completion of a driver education course and an Impact Texas Driver program, if you are between 18 and 24 years old
