Quick summary
To change the parent instructor on a PTDE packet, submit TDLR's online Change of Instructor form with the student's full name and date of birth, the new instructor's name, your 452PT packet receipt number, and email as the delivery method. TDLR — not ParentTaught.com — processes the change and emails the updated instructor designation, typically within a few days, though it can take over a week during summer and spring break.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PTDE Packet is updated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, not ParentTaught.com. This means that we are unable to provide accurate estimates. From our students' experience, this process typically takes a few days, but it can take over a week during summertime or spring break.
The PTDE Packet receipt number is found on the first page, formatted as 452PTXXXXXXXXX. If you can't find your PTDE Packet, see our PTDE packet article for how to get another copy.
No, the registration of the Parent Instructor is with the TDLR; we cannot change the information on the PTDE Packet. You must submit your request directly to the TDLR using the form linked above.
The PTDE Packet is managed by TDLR. If it has been more than a week (or longer during peak seasons like summer and spring break), contact TDLR at (512) 463-6599 or through their online contact form.
