Free DMV Permit Practice Test – Texas 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
  • Based on official Texas Driver's manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for September 2025

Texas requires a vision screening and the passing of the official DMV knowledge (permit) test before issuing a learner’s permit. The Texas learner permit test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, road signs, safe driving practices, alcohol and drug impact on driving ability, and distracted driving. To pass the test, you must answer at least 21 questions (70%) correctly. Though Texas offers online testing options for adults through certified courses, teens must complete the driver’s permit test in person at the DMV. In Texas, if you fail the test, you must wait one business day before taking it again. Our free online Texas DMV Permit Practice Test is updated for September 2025 and designed to help you pass the first time by providing questions and answers based on the Texas DMV 2025 Driver Handbook.

Texas operates a Graduated Driver License (GDL) Program for aspiring drivers under 18: a two-phase system that introduces driving privileges gradually and includes the learner’s permit and the provisional license. You must hold each for a specific length of time and fulfill certain requirements before moving to the next. The GDL program in Texas ends when you turn 18, when the restrictions of the GDL program are lifted and you are eligible for a standard driver’s license (assuming you’ve met all other requirements).

Our practice tests provide instant feedback on practice questions and are formatted to appear just as the official Texas written test. Once prepared, you will need to submit a Verification of Enrollment and Attendance (VOE) form (if you’re under 18) as proof of school attendance and progress, proof of identity (passport or birth certificate), proof of your Social Security number, two proofs of Texas residency, completion certificate from a driver education course (DE-964 form) if you’re under 25, and the application for a Texas driver’s license (DL-14A). Go to the Texas DMV with your documents, pay the fee, and take the knowledge test.

With urban centers like Houston and Dallas, rural highways, desert areas in the west, and coastal regions along the Gulf of Mexico, drivers must adapt to diverse conditions. Our practice tests, in conjunction with the state’s Driver Handbook, will help prepare you for these conditions and ensure you pass the official test on your first attempt.
