What Texas requires
In Texas, a learner permit is available starting at age 15 (with driver education). Texas requires 30 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night before a teen can finish the supervised-driving stage of licensing.
The learner permit also has to be held for at least 6 months before a teen can move up to the next license stage in Texas, so it's worth starting the log early.
The completed log is submitted on the TDLR Behind-the-Wheel Instruction Log (30 Hours). Learner Log generates a print-ready TDLR Behind-the-Wheel Instruction Log (30 Hours) filled in from your logged drives, ready to submit. No hand-copying a paper tally.
Texas counts at most 1 hour of behind-the-wheel practice per day toward the total, no matter how long a single session runs — so the hours are meant to build up over many days rather than a few long ones.

Completing your Texas supervised-driving log, step by step
From your first supervised drive to a completed Texas log — the workflow, in order.
- Log every supervised drive as you go — Learner Log records each drive's date, length, and day-or-night split for you.
- Build toward Texas's requirement of 30 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night. Texas counts at most 1 hour a day toward the total, so the hours build up over many sessions.
- Hold the permit the required 6 months — start logging early so the hours are finished by the time Texas's waiting period is up.
- Generate the print-ready TDLR Behind-the-Wheel Instruction Log (30 Hours) straight from your logged drives — no hand-copying a paper tally.
- The TDLR Behind-the-Wheel Instruction Log (30 Hours) is signed by the supervising adult on each row, and a parent or guardian at the foot (or you, if you are over 18). Submit it when you apply for the next license stage with Texas's licensing agency.
