What do I need to get a Texas learner’s permit in 2025?

[Bailey Xenia]

Hi! I’m planning to apply for a Texas learner’s permit soon and want to make sure I understand all the requirements. Could you explain the age limits, whether parental consent is needed, education and testing rules, plus what proof of identity and residency I need? Any advice to get everything right would be awesome!

Hello. To get a Texas learner’s permit in 2025, you must meet a few key requirements. First, age matters: you need to be at least 15 years old. If you’re under 18, you’ll also need parental consent and have to complete a driver education course. You must pass the vision and written tests, and bring documents proving your identity and Texas residency.
