Do you know if I can do my behind-the-wheel training with my mother or father instead of attending a behind-the-wheel training course like the ones offered by Chris Defensive Driving?

I have no clue how to drive a stick-shift vehicle. What happens if Chris Defensive Driving makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....manual OR automatic! If you prefer to do your hands-on driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Chris Defensive Driving and let them know before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you'll know for certain whether Chris Defensive Driving will be able to accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live in a remote area, that has a lot of dirt roads and bumpy terrain. Will Chris Defensive Driving teach me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?

Are 14-year-olds permitted to obtain a instruction permit in Texas?
Although a few states allow teen-agers to begin practicing how to drive at 14, most states have set the youngest age for which to hold an instruction permit at either 15 or 15½. You will need to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school like Chris Defensive Driving to find out what the minimum age for driving is in Texas.Â
Is taking a drivers education course in a classroom or online sufficient in Houston Texas or do I also have to enroll in a behind-the-wheel training class with a professional driving instructor?
