Do you need to update the address or instructor name on the PTDE Packet you purchased from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation? This guide will walk you through the process.
How to Change Your Instructor
If you need to change instructors at any point during the instruction, please fill out this TDLR form with the following information:
- The student's full name

- The new instructor's name
- The receipt number for your PTDE Packet (E.G., 452PTXXXXXXXXXX)
- How you would like to receive the new instructor designation (delivered by email)
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to update the information?
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.
How do I find my receipt number?
The PTDE Packet receipt number is found on the first page, formatted as 452PTXXXXXXXXX. If you can't find your PTDE Packet, see our guide on how to get another copy.
Can ParentTaught.com update my instructor?
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.
I submitted the form but haven't heard back. What should I do?
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 directly at (512) 463-6599 or through their contact form.
