Texas DPS test: what to prepare for

Official test
Texas driver-license knowledge exam
Question format
Knowledge of traffic rules and safe driving, using the Texas Driver Handbook.
Passing requirement
70% or higher

Where to focus: Review intersection priority, signals, parking distances and safe speed. For teen applications, also read the DPS learner-license requirements.

A common mix-up: Texas DPS handles driver licensing. A practice-test timer or question count on this website is not an official DPS test requirement.

Test facts checked . Official DPS reference ↗. Independent practice, not the official exam bank.

Use practice to learn with explanations. The simulator hides explanations until you submit; its timer is a training setting, not an official time limit.
