9206 Winkler, Houston, phone number 713 943 0725 (11 miles south; closer but usually busier)

2783 Red Bluff Road, Pasadena, phone 713 473 3232 (14 miles southeast; farther, usually less busy).

Or visit www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/driver_licensing_control/rolodex/search.asp

2. What is the best day (least busiest) to visit the Driver’s License Office?

Thursday, around 10 am or 2 pm, or Wednesday; Monday and Friday are the busiest days.

  1. A driver’s license from another country is good for 90 days from day of arrival in Texas. To get a Texas driver’s license, you will then need to take both the written test and a driving test. An “International Driver’s License” is good for one year after your arrival in Texas ; then you will need to take the written and driving test.
  2. A currently valid (not expired) driver’s license from another state in the USAis good for 90 days from your arrival date in Texas. To get a Texas Driver’s License you will need only to transfer your valid driver license from that state in the USA. A driver’s license from another state which has expired requires that you take a written test and then a driving test to get a Texas driver’s license.
  3. You can take the Texas driver’s license written test anytime without an appointment. Be sure to arrive at least one hour before closing.
  4. Can I now schedule a driving test online instead of having to go in person to the nearest DPS office to make an appointment? Yes! Go to:

a. http://bit.ly/4E3EJ Scroll down to Houston Winkler or Pasadena (the closest to the University if Houston),

schedule a driving test online,then Select Service: Driving test for a regular car or truck.

  1. You can pick up a Texas Driver’s handbook to study for the written test at any Texas Department of Public Safety office or go online: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/internetforms/Forms/DL-7.pdf.
  2. If you fail the written test or driving test, you can retake the test thevery next day or later. You have 90 days to retake either to pass. If you don’t pass either in 90 days, you will need to repay the fee gain.
  3. A learner’s or driver’s permit allows me to practice driving with a licensed driverin the front passenger seat. How do I get one and how much does it cost? Take the written test; the $25permit is good for six years. Tell the TX DPS person before you take the written test that you are taking it for a permit (not a driver’s license).
  4. I’ve never driven before. Are there driving schools that can teach me how to drive? Yes;google “learn to drive schools, Houston, Texas” for a list of area schools. Cost is about $40 per hour. Note: A Defensive Driving Course (DDC) is only for those who have received a speeding or other kind of traffic ticket; the DDC is not a course to teach you how to drive.
