Goodbye DL-91A: Simplifying the Road to Driving

The road to getting your Texas driver’s license just got smoother! A key form called the DL-91A is no longer required for new drivers. Let’s break down what this means for you.

What Was the DL-91A?

The DL-91A, or Classroom Instruction Log, was a form that tracked your progress through driver education. It showed the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) that you completed all required classroom hours and passed your tests.

The Big News

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has phased out this form. This means you no longer need to track and record your classroom hours in this specific format. Instead, your DE-964 certificates will show you’ve met the requirements.

What You Need to Know

If a DPS office asks for your DL-91A form, politely let them know it’s been phased out. They can verify this by emailing TPSTprogram@dps.texas.gov. What really matters now is completing your driver education course successfully and earning your certificates.

What You Still Need

  • Your DE-964 certificates (for both learner license and driver license)
  • Proof of your PTDE Program Guide Packet purchase
  • Verification of Enrollment (VOE) form from your school
  • Completed driving logs for your behind-the-wheel hours

Looking Forward

This change makes the process of getting your license more straightforward. You can focus on what’s truly important – learning to be a safe, responsible driver. Keep up with your coursework, practice your driving skills, and you’ll be well on your way to earning your license!
