Effective March 1, 2010, Texas law mandated that any Texas resident between the ages of 18 and 25 who wish to apply for their FIRST Texas drivers license to complete a 6 hour driver education course exclusively for adults. But, don’t worry, if you are a new Texas resident with an out-of-state license or if you have never held a drivers license in any state, you can fulfill this requirement from your home computer!
There are a handful of Texas driving schools that offer Texas Education Agency (TEA) approved 6-hour adult driver’s education classes via the internet. We recommend this method over attending a physical classroom for the following reasons:
- Less Expensive. A classroom-based Texas adult drivers ed class can cost as much as $300, whereas an online adult driver education class costs between $70-$100.
- All Online. A classroom-based Texas adult drivers ed. course consists of 6-hours of boring lectures and dated videos. Online providers use the most cutting edge flash and streaming web technology to bring you courses that are inexpensive, engaging and fun!
- Flexible Schedule. A classroom-based TX adult driver education course requires you to sit through a single 6-hour class. Online Adult Drivers Ed can be taken in multiple sessions, from any computer with internet access. For working adults with hectic schedules, this is essential.
We recommend Get Defensive for your online Texas Adult Driver Education course needs. Their online course is one of the few adult courses approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and may be taken by foreign-born students, out of state drivers who have just moved to Texas and those over 25 years of age.
