Complete Adult Driver’s Education Course: If you’re 18 to 24 years old, you’ll have to take a 6-hours of adult driver ed course. The requirement does not apply to new residents 18 or older who are surrendering a valid, unexpired driver license issued by another state.
Obtain Necessary Documents: You’ll be required to produce documents as evidence of U.S. citizenship or legal presence, evidence of residency in Texas, evidence of identity, Social Security Number, and evidence of vehicle registration and insurance if you have a vehicle, present evidence of Texas vehicle registration for each of your vehicles (this is done only by new residents who are surrendering an out-of-state driver’s license).
Go to a Driver License Office: Make an appointment at your Texas Department of Public Safety. You’ll have to fill out the application, submit the needed documents, take Biometric data (signature and thumbprints), get your photo taken, and pay the application fee.
Pass the Tests: You’ll have to pass a vision test, a written test of your driving knowledge, and a practical driving ability test. The written and driving tests may be taken at the DPS office or with a Texas State Approved TDLR Certified provider such as us at Arlington Driving Academy.
Get Your Temporary License: After your driver license has been processed, you will be issued a Texas provisional driver’s license by the Department of Public Safety that permits you to drive lawfully until your permanent license card is issued.
Wait for Your Official License: Your official driver license should arrive by mail within 2-3 weeks. You can track the mailing status of your card online.

Treat your adult driving lesson like a milestone. Mindset matters. If the training session feels overwhelming, you may end up taking longer to get your license.
An important step, the night before going to an adult driving school in Arlington is getting enough rest. A Good night's sleep increases 'Procedural Memory,' keeping you fresh, active, and attentive on all the teachings your instructor offers.
Every car is different from each other mechanically. Basic features include the gear stick, steering wheel, accelerator pedal, brake pedal, indicators, lights, clutch pedal, rear-view mirrors, and dashboard instruments. Pedals and the steering wheel stay fixed, but controller locations vary by model, brand, car type, and design.
Manual cars have a gear stick and clutch pedal, while automatics don't. The instructors at our driving school simplifies and makes learning enjoyable, speeding up your path to getting a license.
In an adult driving course, you'll sit in the driver's seat for hours, so dress comfortably. Make sure shoes permit free motion of your feet and fingers. Women should steer clear of high heels or designer shoes to avoid them getting trapped on the pedal.
Today, automobiles have an auto guide to navigate while driving. New drivers must learn on their own. Steady speed driving and wearing relaxed shoes will make braking simpler.
For your Arlington adult driving school class, you don't need much. The most important item is your
learner's permit
—be sure to always keep it with you when you drive.
A Mobile is not necessary for the class, if you still bring it, turn it off or put it in airplane mode to minimize distractions, since using a phone and driving is hazardous. Also, drink lots of water and hydrate yourself before going to the driving class.
Bring your learner's permit, a piece of identification, and dress comfortably and in shoes.
Each lesson is usually 1 to 2 hours long.
None is needed. The class is for beginners.
We employ cars that are stable, safe, and easy for a beginner to master.
