San Antonio drivers ed at a glance
Step one
Which San Antonio drivers ed course do you need?
Texas approves drivers ed statewide, so our online course is valid at every San Antonio DPS office. Your age decides the course.
Teen (parent-taught) drivers ed
Start at 14. The first 6 hours qualify you for a learner license at 15. A parent teaches the driving.
Adult drivers ed (6 hours)
Required before your first Texas license. Most students finish in one day. No behind-the-wheel hours needed.
Adult drivers ed (6 hours)
Not required at 25 and up, but it includes your knowledge test, so you can skip the written exam at DPS.
