According to state regulations, students must order and receive the PTDE program guide before starting any Parent Taught Drivers Ed coursework online. You can order the PTDE program guide from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) here. The DPS will not accept any coursework a student does before receiving the PTDE program guide from the TDLR.
