Parent Taught Driver Education Explained
Parent taught driver education (PTDE) is a convenient and effective way for new drivers ages 14 to 17 to take care of driver education without having to go to a physical classroom.
The Benefit of Parent Taught Driver Education
Our Texas Parent Taught Driver Education course is completed alongside your TDLR-Parent Taught Driver Education Packet. Between these two resources you will have thorough instructions and help so your teen can learn safe driving practices and earn a Texas learner's permit.
