Notice to Parents and Guardians from the Texas Education Agency
The Texas Education Agency licenses this driver education school and its instructors. As a parent or guardian of a teenager, you are
entitled to know the minimum requirements of a teen driver education course.
There are thirty-two (32) hours of classroom instruction. The classroom instruction phase shall be completed within the timelines
stated in this contract and all 32 hours must be attended and successfully completed or made up. Only two (2) hours of scheduled
classroom instruction are permitted per day.
Your teen must attend and complete the first module (8 hours of NEISD instruction) of class instruction before a learner’s permit will
be issued by DPS.
Seven (7) clock hours minimum of in-car driving instruction and an additional seven (7) hours minimum of in-car observation are
required.
There is a maximum of five (5) hours of driver training per day. These activities include scheduled classroom, make-up classroom,
behind-the-wheel driving and simulator training (NEISD does not offer simulator training).
If your teen transfers to another school or driver training program, timelines may change and credits for the classroom and/or in-car
may not be transferable to the new driver training school.
In-car driving and observation must be completed within the timelines stated in this contract. (Note:
During peak enrollment
periods, in-car instruction times could be subject to availability.)
If you have reason to believe that these minimum requirements are not being met, please call the Texas Education Agency, Driver
Training Department at (512) 505-0500.
