Take the IMPACT Course

Whether you take your DPS Authorized Road Test with Austin Driving School or wait for an appointment at the DPS, you will need to complete the IMPACT Texas Teen Two Hour Course.

The IMPACT Texas Teen Drivers (ITTD) was developed by the Department of Public Safety with the goal of saving lives through awareness and education. The ITTD brings awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and enforces that safe driving is built upon mindful choices and habits. Remember to put away the distractions in the car and drive safely!

If you are between 18 and 24 and completed a minors drivers education course (DE-964 Certificate),  you will be required to complete the 2hour IMPACT Texas Teens Drivers Education Course and must bring a parent or guardian for the driving test.
