There are a few rules for novice drivers, anyone under the age of 18 before they are able to legally operate a vehicle. Before taking a driver’s test, a person must complete 32 hours of classroom time or parent-taught driver’s education. They must have obtained either a high school diploma or equivalent or be enrolled in school. In Texas, the school is required to sign a form to prove that the person is enrolled in school. They have to have been enrolled for 45 days prior to the application for a learner’s license.
