Step 1
Learner license
DPS says teen drivers need to hold the learner license for at least 6 months unless they turn 18.
Teen driver route
Teen license steps before the Texas road test in San Antonio.
Use this page when the student is under 18 and you want a concrete checklist before requesting the road test. If you are unsure which step applies right now, run EZDL first.
Teen checklist
Documents teen drivers need before test day.
This checklist helps families confirm the required documents and preparation steps before moving forward with a road test request.
Step 2
DE-964 certificate
Teen driver education completion document from the required class path.
Step 3
Texas IMPACT ITTD
The ITTD certificate is valid for 90 days and must be current at the time of testing.
Step 4
30-hour log
30 supervised practice hours are required, including at least 10 hours of night driving.
Step 5
Signed VOE form
VOE is typically valid 30 days, or 90 days if issued during June, July, or August.
Next Step
Three teen stages that drive the next action.
Stage A: no permit yet
Need to complete the class and receive certificate of completion (DE-964 form). With that an appointment with DPS can be scheduled to receive Driver's Permit.
Start teen classStage B: permit in place, documents incomplete
At this stage, the student is ready for driving lessons, but for requesting a road test, ITTD, the 30-hour log, and VOE should be ready. Complete those first so the student is not blocked at the final stage.
Check document status with EZDLStage C: core items completed
When the core items are in place, EZDL routes to either road test request or driving practice first based on confidence.
