When you turn 15 in Texas, you can apply for your instruction permit. You'll apply for the permit at your local driver license office. You'll need to bring the following:

Certified birth certificate or other acceptable proof of identity

Social Security card or other supporting document such as school records

Completion certificate for the classroom portion of an approved driver's education course

Completed attendance verification form from your school

Proof of insurance if you own a vehicle

Signature of a parent or guardian
