HOUSTON The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) released a first-of-its-kind driving course for death or hard or hearing students. The course was required by Senate Bill 1051 and developed by a state agency in the United States. The goal of the course is to provide minors and adults who are deaf or hard of hearing to participate in the classroom portion of the course, but they are not required to use it. TDLR is proud to make this driving course available for deaf or hard of hearing students. ASL must be taken through a TDLR-licensed driver education school for students to receive the certificate of completion thats needed to complete the drivers license application process.
