Confirm that you have completed the required driver education and Impact Texas Drivers program, if applicable.
Get enough rest and arrive early.
Follow the provider's instructions for check-in.
If you are unsure about a document or vehicle requirement, contact the testing provider or check the official DPS guidance before your appointment.

Before leaving for your appointment, check:
Brake lights, turn signals, headlights, and other required lights
Tires and general vehicle condition

Whether the vehicle is permitted for use during the driving test

If you are not yet comfortable with parking, turns, lane changes, or traffic awareness, additional practice may help you prepare.
