For teens, learning to drive can be an exhilarating first step toward freedom – but it can be a scary process for them, and for parents! This course combines I Drive Safely’s tested, effective online drivers ed program with parental supervision and instruction: this puts the parent in charge of the process and gives entire families peace of mind. In 2014, I Drive Safely helped more than 19,000 Texas families with this parent-taught drivers ed course, and we're ready to help you, too.

Texas DPS/TDLR Approved for a Quality Course

Drivers ed is too important to cut corners. After all, you only have one chance to start off right, building a solid skill set and good habits. Your teen will be driving for a long time, and that's exactly why our Parent-Taught Drivers Ed course is fully approved by the Texas DPS/TDLR: it fulfills, and exceeds, all requirements.

In other words, we give teens everything they need to know before they get behind the wheel for the first time. This keeps them safe and provides you the peace of mind you need.

Online Makes It Easy

Gone are the days of stuffy classrooms, set schedules, and boring textbooks – our Texas Parent-Taught Drivers Ed is 100% online for your ultimate convenience. With 24/7 access to the course from anywhere and at any time, parents have complete control over the process throughout.

Teens can study wherever they want, whenever they want, at a pace that’s comfortable for both you and your child – it’s the best of a classroom drivers ed course, minus the classroom. That’s the I Drive Safely advantage!

It definitely beats the worries of drivers ed from a complete stranger in a run-down jalopy that’s older than your child.

You've been teaching your child to drive since the first ride they took with you: now it's time to make the process official. Best of all, I Drive Safely's Parent-Taught Drivers Ed course will support you every step of the way, and guide you through, lesson by lesson. With our DPS/TDLR-approved course and up-to-date custom curriculum, you'll have all the tools you need to teach your child the skills they need.

Texas Parent-Taught Driver's Ed vs Instructor-Led Driver's Ed

The State of Texas requires that all teen drivers under the age of 18 take driver education classes in addition to the required Impact Texas Drivers (ITD) Program. While no one may apply for a learner license until reaching 15 years of age, they can start taking the classes as young as 14. These new drivers have three choices. If they go to public school, they may be able to take driver’s education in high school. If driver education is not offered at school, teen drivers in Texas can take a traditional drivers ed course at a driving instruction school, or they can get a parent-taught driver education (PTDE).
