Texas location guide
Texas permit and road-test locations
Texas splits government credentialing from optional third-party skills testing. A driver-education school can test your driving, but DPS/online processing issues the actual license.

DPS Driver License Offices
Use DPS for learner/provisional transactions, document/vision work and DPS road tests.
TDLR-approved driver-education providers
Use certified school, public-school, online or parent-taught programs for the required education/certificates.
Third Party Skills Testing schools
Authorized schools can conduct the skills test and may submit eligible results digitally.
Verify the exact service before booking
Office and third-party availability vary, so use the live DPS/TDLR locator and scheduler.
Choose any Texas driver license office
Texas allows driver-license and ID transactions at driver license offices across the state; you are not limited to the county where you live.
Book through Texas Scheduler
In-office driver-license and ID services are appointment-based. Most locations also release a limited number of same-day appointments, which can fill quickly.
Consider a Mega Center
DPS identifies Mega Centers as its premier high-capacity locations. If one appears near you, it can handle the same core driver-license and identification services.
