The State of Texas requires 2 parts of Drivers Education for Teenage Drivers (14-17 yrs.) The first part is 32 hours of Classroom Instruction, and the second is Behind-the-Wheel Instruction, both offered here at Carroll Watkins! Our classes are held Monday - Thursday for 4 weeks or Monday - Friday for 3 weeks, 2 hours each night, to reach the total of 32 hours. The state requires 7 hours of driving, and 7 hours of student observation. We combine lessons into 2 hour sessions, each including 1 of the 7 required hours of both driving and observation. That brings us to 7 total lessons, 2 hours each. In every "Drive Time" your student will drive for one hour, and observe another student drive for one hour, accompanied by a licensed instructor in the front seat.

Although we primarily teach teenage driving, we do offer services for Adult drivers. If you are an adult (age 18+) and you have a Learner's License, we can do one-on-one lessons, 1 hour each, to practice with you until you feel ready to take the Driving Test at the DPS. To become eligible to drive with us, you must complete the 6 hour required course for age 18-24 online at 6hourdrivingcoursetexas.com, or show completion of the minimum 6 hours of Texas Drivers Education, and you MUST have a Texas Learner's License (Permit).
