Go to your local DMV and ask there. You might just need to take the test. It is written and you must drive for them. Even though you get your driver's permit that doesn't mean that you don't need to take the driver's training in school or a private driving school. With out your going to driving school in this state the cost of insurance is unreal, well beyond a normal budget. If they won't test you you can apply for a learner's permit and start over here. Good luck

I live in Texas and you will need to apply for a Texas permit (by taking a written exam at the DPS office). Then you will need to complete an approved driver education course to get your Texas license. I did Driver Ed In A Box and loved it - I did it all at home and it is an approved course. Check it out and good luck!

This site has some great information on this process, scroll down to "Applying for a First-Time License":

Each state has different requirements and regulations regarding honoring other states learner's permits. To find out how TX handles an out-of-state permit and any other coursework completed toward a driver's license you will need to contact their driver services office directly:
