Respect the motorcycle and allow the motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem as though there is enough room in the traffic lane for an automobile and a motorcycle, the motorcycle is entitled to a full lane and may need the room to maneuver safely. Do not attempt to share the lane with a motorcycle.
Highway hypnosis is a condition of drowsiness or unawareness can be brought on by reduced activity and steady sounds of wind, engine, and tire hum. All drivers should be aware of its danger and of the methods for fighting it.

Most of us prefer to read something other than a driver’s manual. It takes too long, and we will give up before finishing it. That is why you searched for a website like this. You want quick answers without putting too much effort into it.
Each TX sample test on this website has ten random questions picked from a database with more than 500 questions. We guarantee that you will cover everything you need to know for the final DPS exam.
But practice tests will only help if you use them correctly.
Be active. Compare questions and answers in the test with information in the Texas Driver Handbook . It is a good idea to keep the handbook handy and use it to look up questions and answers when you are uncertain.
While these practice tests give you all the answers you need, memorizing them does not guarantee success on the Texas licensing test. Suppose you put isolated phrases or pieces of information in the wrong context. In that case, you will likely get facts mixed up or even wrong.
Stop and think for a second or two after each question when taking a practice test. Is this familiar? Would it share a hashtag with something else? Take a second look at the incorrect choices.
Knowing what is wrong is just as important as knowing what is right.
If you apply for your first original Texas license or learner’s permit, you must always pass a knowledge test.
If you are under 25, you must take a driver’s education course before applying for a learner’s license. This course includes the DPS-approved knowledge exam. If you pass this course, you don’t have to take any other knowledge test for your permit.

Texas DPS does not require a written test if you are an adult holding and surrendering a valid, unexpired driver’s license from another US state or US territory. It also applies if you are 18 or older and hold a valid out-of-country license from Canada, France, South Korea, or Germany. All other citizens with an out-of-country driver’s license must pass the written knowledge exam.
If you are under 18 years with a license or permit from a country other than the US or Canada, you must always pass the knowledge test. If you are a minor, there is no exception if you hold a license from France, South Korea, or Germany.
TX DPS designs the official written knowledge test to test your:
DPS bases the questions on the written test of information in the Texas Driver Handbook. Make sure you read the handbook. Skipping the manual is a risky tactic!
The Texas Driver Handbook is available at your local DPS office or via the Department’s website.
At a DPS office, you take your test at a computerized test station. Read the instructions before you start. You can skip questions that you don’t know the answer to. They will appear again at the end of the rest unless you have already reached a passing score. The test will finish when you have passed.
You can also take the written test as part of a driving course at an approved driving school or through an authorized third-party tester. Nowadays, you can even take the Texas exam online from the comfort of your home.
If you fail a test, you cannot retake the test on the same day. It is a good idea to read the handbook and practice some more!
After 90 days or three failed attempts, you must apply for a license again and pay a new application fee.
There are 30 questions on the Texas written knowledge test. The passing score is 70%. You must answer 21 out of 30 questions correctly.
Unlike many other states, the Texas knowledge test is only available in English and Spanish. You must also understand all road sign messages in English to pass the test.
Road sign tests with translations is available here: Señales de tráfico and Señales de tráfico más difíciles.
You may bring a translator if you don’t speak English or Spanish, but the translator cannot help you during the test.
If you have trouble reading, you may ask for an oral test with a certified ASL interpreter. Contact your local driver’s license office at least four business days before you wish to take the exam.
You must have the following documents ready when you apply for a driver’s license or permit at a DPS service location:
Proof of Identity.
Your unexpired US Passport, US citizen Identification card, or Permanent Resident card is commonly accepted.
Proof of US Citizenship or Lawful Presence.
You can often use the same document as above. You usually need your foreign passport with visa, alien number, or I-94 number to show lawful presence.
Proof of Social Security Number.
Bring your SSN card. DPS also accepts a W-2, SSA-1099 Form, or a paystub with your name and SSN.
Proof of Residency in Texas.
Provide two documents that show you have lived in Texas for at least 30 days. Examples include utility bills, cable contracts, paychecks, or pay stubs dated within 90 days of the application date. DPS also accepts Texas high school, college, or university report cards or transcripts for the current school year.
Evidence of Texas Vehicle Registration and insurance.
Usually, you need to show proof of Insurance and evidence of Texas Vehicle Registration (new Residents surrendering an out-of-state driver’s license only) for each vehicle you own. If you do not own a vehicle, you will sign a statement affirming this.
If you aren’t sure if Texas DPS will accept your documents, you can download this brochure and this checklist to help you determine which documents you should bring.
DPS will only accept your application if you have all the documents needed.
