VOE stands for Verification of Enrollment and is issued by the school attendance office. This form may only be issued if the student has satisfactory attendance. During the school year, a signed VOE form is valid for 30 days. Forms remain valid through summer break if they are signed during the last week of the school year.

If the student is under the age of 18, the state requires that they have satisfactory attendance in a secondary school or hold a diploma or GED before acquiring a driver permit or license. Without the VOE form, diploma, or GED, a student CANNOT complete the course or obtain a license of any kind. If the student is 18, the VOE form is no longer required.

The learner permit can be administered through our online courses after the first 6 hours are completed, as long as the student is at least age 15 years of age. All online classes can be taken at your own pace.

In Texas, a driving student typically has up to one year to complete both the classroom and behind-the-wheel portions of driver education in order to receive their driver’s license. This timeframe can vary depending on the specific circumstances and requirements set by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) or the driving school they are attending. It’s important for students to check with their driving school or the DPS for the most accurate information regarding deadlines and requirements.

If the student is unable to complete the course within the allotted timeframe, they will need to talk with the location supervisor to discuss their options.

Hardship licenses are issued by and at the discretion of the DPS. The person applying for a hardship license must be at least 15 years of age and complete driver education. Please see the DPS website for more detailed information regarding the application process for a hardship license.

This ASL course is entirely optional but must be taken through a licensed driver education school to receive a certificate of completion. This certificate is necessary to test for a learner’s permit or driver’s license with the DPS. Before selecting a driver education school, be sure to ask your provider if they offer the ASL course, as TDLR does not maintain information on which providers have this course available.
