In Texas, if you’re under 18, you must obtain an instruction permit (learner license) before applying for a driver’s license. The permit lets you practice driving under supervision. One key requirement is passing the written knowledge exam, although it can be waived if you completed an approved driver education course.

If you’re 18 or older, you’ll also pass the knowledge exam, but you’ll apply directly for a license rather than a permit. The license will initially carry the same restrictions as the teen instructional permit.

The Texas DPS written test has 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official driver’s manual (Texas DMV Handbook (TX Driver’s Manual) 2026). To pass, you need at least 21 correct (70%).

This is our second Texas Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026 and based on the official Texas driver’s manual. Choose the best or most complete answer for each question. Our AI Assistant can give you hints or explanations if you get stuck. We also offer a Texas DMV Permit Test Study Guide with document checklists, fees, and frequently missed questions.

Start with Highway Driving

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for TX rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

3

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that highway driving plus construction zones no longer pull your score down.
