The program will allow you to safely gain driving experience in stages, before being granted full driving privileges.We want to help you get the most out of this process, and to help make sure that applying for your first La Porte Texas driver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.
The La Porte Texas Instruction Permit or La Porte Texas Learner’s Permit
When you turn 15, you can finally apply for a La Porte Texas Instruction Permit, otherwise known as a La Porte Texas Learner’s Permit. This permit is valid until your next birthday plus 1 year. It allows you to practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21 with 1 year of driving experience. In order to apply, you’ll need:
- Completed La Porte Texas approved driver safety course (more on this later)
- Proof of current enrollment and high school attendance
- Valid identification
- Proof of Social Security number
Once you’re ready, head on down to the local La Porte Texas Driver License Office with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a vision test, as well as a written exam. If you survive, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your La Porte Texas Instruction Permit! Remember: all passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your La Porte Texas Instruction Permit with you at all times.
You’ll be ready to apply for the La Porte Texas Provisional License once you’ve held your La Porte Texas Instruction Permit without incident for 6 months have met a few more requirements,
The La Porte Texas Provisional License or La Porte Texas Intermediate License
You can apply for your La Porte Texas Provisional License once you’ve held your La Porte Texas Instruction Permit for 180 days. However, you’ll need to make sure you meet these requirements:

Make an appointment and head on down to your local La Porte Texas Driver License Office. Be sure to bring your identification documents, including your La Porte Texas Instruction Permit. Then your only remaining hurdle is the dreaded La Porte Texas road test! If you pass, then congratulate yourself once again: you’ve just earned your La Porte Texas Provisional License!
La Porte Texas Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
The aim of the Graduated License Program is to give newer drivers the opportunity to safely hone their driving skills before graduating to full driving privileges. Until you have earned your La Porte Texas full license, there are several restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your La Porte Texas learner's license or La Porte Texas driver's license.
For the first 6 months
- All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts
- No driving between midnight and 5AM unless you’re going to/from your job, a school sanctioned activity, or for a medical emergency
- No using a cell phone while driving
- No more than 1 passenger under 21 (unless they’re family!)
After 6 months have passed, the above restrictions will no longer apply.
Once you turn 18, your La Porte Texas Provisional license will expire and you then qualify for your regular La Porte Texas driver license. From this point on: freedom!
