Teen driver-education graduates use ITTD; adult applicants use an approved ITD option. Proof must be within 90 days of the skills test.

DPS test: schedule Class C Road Skills

Bring current insurance/registration and a qualifying safe vehicle.

Third-party test: authorized school

Eligible results may be digitally submitted; school fees are separate from state credential fees.

What Texas DPS tells applicants to bring

The current DPS checklist includes the learner license or applicable restricted license, the required fee or receipt, the Impact Texas Driver completion when required, driver-education proof for applicants who need it, current liability insurance and a qualifying test vehicle.

The vehicle is inspected before the test

DPS checks that the vehicle can be legally and safely used for the exam. Registration, license plates, insurance and basic safety equipment are part of that check. A mechanical problem can prevent the driving test from starting.

Schedule only after the application step is ready

Texas DPS says you must apply for the driver license before scheduling the road test, and the scheduler requires the assigned driver-license number for the testing applicant. DPS says road-test appointments can be booked up to 180 days ahead.
