Texas Parent-Taught Driver Education (PTDE) is a 32-hour program approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). It allows a qualifying parent or guardian to serve as the primary driving instructor for their teen.

The online classroom portion is completed through this course at your own pace, while the in-car training hours are completed with your approved parent instructor. The PTDE program gives families complete control over the schedule for both classroom and in-car training.

The teen must be between 14 and 17 years of age at the time of enrollment. The parent or guardian acting as the driving instructor must hold a valid Texas driver's license, have at least 7 years of licensed driving experience, and must not have been convicted of certain traffic violations within the past 7 years.

Before starting the course, the student must obtain the official PTDE packet directly from the Texas DPS. The packet includes the required forms and instructions for completing the parent-taught program.

The online classroom portion covers all content required under the Texas PTDE program:

• Texas traffic laws, road signs, and signals
• Defensive driving techniques and hazard avoidance
• Safe driving practices for highways, intersections, and school zones
• The effects of alcohol, drugs, and distractions on driving ability
• Rules for driving near emergency vehicles and school buses
• How to prepare for the DPS knowledge and driving skills tests
