South Texas Screening, Inc. FAQ's

Since South Texas Screening, Inc. appears on your website, does this mean they've been approved by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
The list of driving schools on our webpage is provided as a convenience to our customers only.  We CANNOT guarantee that every single school listed is fully-certified by the Texas DMV.  You may want to call South Texas Screening, Inc. directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
I've been told that either of my parents can supervise my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Alice Texas driving school like South Texas Screening, Inc. to fulfill my behind-the-wheel training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Texas DMV or a state-approved driver training school like South Texas Screening, Inc. to find out.  Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
Do I need to tell South Texas Screening, Inc. that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to operate a manual-shift automobile.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift car!  We recommend that you ask South Texas Screening, Inc. if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift car before you enroll in their driver training course.
Since I live way out in a rural area where driving on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will South Texas Screening, Inc. be able to teach me how to drive in a non-urban environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a remote location, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as South Texas Screening, Inc. will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and rugged terrain.  We recommend that you contact South Texas Screening, Inc. directly to find out exactly what they offer.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my learner's permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a instruction permit.  We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as South Texas Screening, Inc. or the Texas DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in Texas.
Can I take South Texas Screening, Inc.'s driver training course before taking a Alice Texas defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Texas's laws prescribe.  However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Texas's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course.  We recommend that you contact South Texas Screening, Inc. directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
Texas's DMV has told me that I need to take a driver training course. Do you know if South Texas Screening, Inc. offers this course or not?
South Texas Screening, Inc. does offer the driver training course that Texas requires all new teen-aged drivers to take.  For more information about the courses South Texas Screening, Inc. offers, we recommend that you contact South Texas Screening, Inc. directly.
What steps do I have to take in order to get a Texas drivers license in Alice Texas?
Most states require that teen-agers who are applying for their first driver's license complete both a drivers education classroom course and a behind-the-wheel training course.  South Texas Screening, Inc. may be able to help you fulfill the behind-the-wheel training portion in Texas.  Please contact South Texas Screening, Inc. for more information. 

 
Is hands-on driver training required in Texas in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle?
Absolutely.  All new drivers in Texas must take an approved driver training course before they can be issued a license to independently drive a motor vehicle.
Can I register for a Texas-approved behind-the-wheel training course even if I don't have my Texas learners permit yet?
Most likely, no.  Most states have laws that require a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a Texas learners permit before registering in a Texas behind-the-wheel training course.  It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as South Texas Screening, Inc. and ask for more information.
