Effective September 1, 2015 - Impact Texas Teen Driver Program

Starting September 1, 2015, any driver license applicant, ages 16-24, who have successfully completed a Teen Driver Education Course (32 hours classroom/44 hours behind the wheel) and issued a DE-964 are required to take Impact Texas Teen Drivers (ITTD) before being administered a driving skills examination.

ITTD is a free 2 hour informational video that is available through a Third Party Skills Testing (TPST) authorized school or the Department's Impact Texas Teen Drivers website: https://impacttexasteendrivers.dps.texas.gov/

Upon completion of the ITTD program teenagers will receive a Certificate of Completion that must be presented prior to administering the drive skills examination.  The ITTD Certificate of Completion must be dated within 90 days of the administered skills examination.  

NOTE:  ITTD does not replace the distracted driving module provided in the 32 hours of drivers education classroom phase.  The program has been added to emphasize the ever-increasing dangers of distracted driving.
