Euless Texas Online Driver Education and Euless Texas Licensing Procedures

We want to help you get the most out of this process, and to help make sure that applying for your first Euless Texas driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.

The Euless Texas Instruction Permit or Euless Texas Learner’s Permit

When you turn 15, you can finally apply for a Euless Texas Instruction Permit, otherwise known as a Euless Texas Learner’s Permit. This permit is valid until your next birthday plus 1 year. It allows you to practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21 with 1 year of driving experience. In order to apply, you’ll need:

• Completed Euless Texas approved driver safety course (more on this later)
  
• Proof of current enrollment and high school attendance
• Valid identification
• Proof of Social Security number

Once you’re ready, head on down to the local Euless Texas Driver License Office with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test, as well as a written exam. If you survive, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Euless Texas Instruction Permit! Remember: all passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your Euless Texas Instruction Permit with you at all times.

You’ll be ready to apply for the Euless Texas Provisional License once you’ve held your Euless Texas Instruction Permit without incident for 6 months have met a few more requirements,

The Euless Texas Provisional License or Euless Texas Intermediate License

You can apply for your Euless Texas Provisional License once you’ve held your Euless Texas Instruction Permit for 180 days. However, you’ll need to make sure you meet these requirements:

• You've held your Euless Texas Instruction Permit for 6 months
• You've completed a Euless Texas approved driving training course (both classroom and on-the-road driving training)

Make an appointment and head on down to your local Euless Texas Driver License Office. Be sure to bring your identification documents, including your Euless Texas Instruction Permit. Then your only remaining hurdle is the dreaded Euless Texas road test! If you pass, then congratulate yourself once again: you’ve just earned your Euless Texas Provisional License!

Euless Texas Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

The aim of the Graduated License Program is to give newer drivers the opportunity to safely hone their driving skills before graduating to full driving privileges. Until you have earned your Euless Texas full license, there are several restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your Euless Texas learner's license or Euless Texas driver's license.

• All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts
• No driving between midnight and 5AM unless you’re going to/from your job, a school sanctioned activity, or for a medical emergency
• No using a cell phone while driving
• No more than 1 passenger under 21 (unless they’re family!)

After 6 months have passed, the above restrictions will no longer apply.

Once you turn 18, your Euless Texas Provisional license will expire and you then qualify for your regular Euless Texas driver license. From this point on: freedom!

Euless Texas Auto Insurance Financial Responsibility Laws

Unfortunately, traffic accidents can happen to even the most experienced driver. Despite your confidence in your driving skills, your vehicle must still be covered by Euless Texas liability insurance. The minimum liability insurance coverage is:

• $25,000 bodily injury for one person
• $25,000 for property damage per accident
• $50,000 bodily injury two or more people

In fact, if you are in an accident and found to be driving without Euless Texas mandatory liability insurance, your Euless Texas Learner Permit or Euless Texas Provisional license may be suspended.

Euless Texas Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As a Euless Texas teen driver, it’s important for you to learn the Euless Texas drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws.

Drunk Driving. Euless Texas takes drunk driving very seriously.

Currently, Euless Texas teen drivers are prohibited from using cell phones while driving. That doesn't mean, however, that constant cell phone use while behind the wheel is a good idea for adults either! Don't allow anything to distract you from your driving.
