Re: …Phati, for you…
So Texan law must be different then 
I was 15 or 16 when I attended the driving school. Then I took the written test only and got a learner’s permit. Then I drove for 90 days (that’s the rule) and then applied for the actual license. That’s when I had to take the driving test. I did not have to take the written exam again, only that one time to get the permit.
