Texas learner-license and driving-test appointments

Schedule the learner-license office visit

Bring the parent/guardian or qualifying notarized authorization plus the full teen document package.

DPS road test: select Class C Road Skills Test

Bring current registration and insurance for the test vehicle and all required education/ITD documents.

Third-party test: schedule with an authorized school

School test fees are not regulated by DPS; some schools submit eligible results electronically through the TPST portal.

Time the ITD certificate correctly

Impact Texas completion must be within 90 days of the skills exam.

Use the Texas Scheduler

DPS routes driver-license office appointments through the Texas Scheduler. If your local office has no available time, DPS recommends checking another location or looking again later for cancellations and limited same-day openings.

The scheduler can also tell an existing customer when a transaction is eligible for an online service instead of an office visit.

How far ahead can you book?

DPS says general driver-license office appointments can be scheduled up to six months ahead. It also publishes arrival and lateness guidance, so check the confirmation rather than treating the appointment time as flexible.

Driving tests use the same appointment ecosystem

Road tests also use the Texas Scheduler, but you must first have the applicant record and licensing steps needed for the driving test. Road-test appointments have their own preparation checklist.
