Free Texas DMV Practice Test

Texas Driver Handbook, form DL-7 (Texas Department of Public Safety, Driver License Division, "Revised January 2026"), official PDF fetched directly from https://www.dps.texas.gov/internetforms/Forms/DL-7.pdf, and Texas Transportation Code / Alcoholic Beverage Code via the official Texas Legislature statutes site at https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov. Researched and verified 2026-08-18; citation gap closed and the handbook re-fetched and text-extracted 2026-08-20. EXAM FORMAT, RE-CHECKED 2026-08-20 WITH A STRONGER RESULT AND A CORRECTION: the prior note said the handbook PDF "was too large to fetch directly" — this session it WAS retrieved in full (28.9MB, downloaded via curl since it exceeds the fetch tool's 10MB cap) and text-extracted with pdftotext (~274KB of readable text, not a scan). Its "Part 1: The Knowledge exam" section states verbatim: "You must score a grade of 70 percent or better to pass any knowledge exam" — rulePassPct: 0.70 is therefore CONFIRMED from DPS's own document. The question count is NOT: the full extracted text was searched exhaustively and contains only nine occurrences of "question", none of which states a count for the Class C knowledge exam. The widely-repeated "30 questions" figure has NO official source, so per this project's standards the prior note's appeal to it as a "best-corroborated third-party figure" is WITHDRAWN — ruleCount: 30 is retained purely as an EXPLICITLY UNCONFIRMED estimate, sized consistently with other unified-format states in this app, with no claim of third-party corroboration. signCount: 0/signPassCount: 0 follows from the handbook describing one Class C knowledge exam with no separate sign-recognition gate. Also noted for future sessions: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/driver-license/texas-driver-handbook and https://www.dps.texas.gov/sites/default/files/documents/internetforms/forms/dl-7.pdf both return 404 — the /internetforms/Forms/DL-7.pdf path above is the one that works. STATUTE-SITE LIMITATION 2026-08-20: statutes.capitol.texas.gov responds (HTTP 200) but has been rebuilt as a JavaScript single-page app — the legacy chapter URLs (/Docs/TN/htm/TN.545.htm, /Docs/TN/pdf/TN.545.pdf, /GetStatute.aspx, /StatutesByDate.aspx) all return the same ~250KB application shell with no statute text, so the Transportation Code sections below could NOT be re-read and re-confirmed this session. They are carried forward from the 2026-08-18 research and are flagged here as not independently re-verified this pass; re-check them from a JavaScript-capable browser. Sections cited inline with that research (§545.352 speed, §544.007/.008 signals/lane control, §545.053/.055 passing, §545.066 school bus stop law, §545.157 Move Over/Slow Down, §545.4251/§545.424 texting and under-18 wireless device bans, §545.401 reckless driving, §545.302 stopping/standing/parking distances, §545.407 following fire apparatus, §545.412 child passenger safety, §545.414 open truck bed, and Alcoholic Beverage Code §106.041 under-21 zero tolerance). Corrections versus commonly repeated but incorrect claims: Texas has NO statewide bicycle safe-passing-distance law (a 2009 3-foot bill was vetoed and a 2021 attempt also failed; only local city ordinances exist) — do not confuse with neighboring states that do have one. Texas also has NO points/demerit-surcharge system: the old Driver Responsibility Program was repealed effective September 1, 2019 and not replaced, so the "points" category (labeled "License Consequences" in-app) is authored around ALR/DWI administrative suspensions, the DRP repeal itself, conviction-count-based suspension thresholds, and the defensive-driving dismissal option rather than a numeric point table. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented as hard state-specific figures: an official stopping-distance chart; a state-law tie for curb colors (addressed instead as its own question — curb colors are municipal, not state-standardized, in Texas); truck/bus no-zone footage (standard FMCSA figures exist but were not confirmed as Texas-handbook-specific, so omitted); and an independently-confirmed statute citation for the driveway-entry-yields-to-roadway-traffic and uncontrolled-intersection right-of-way rules (included as widely-corroborated general traffic-law facts, but flagged here as secondary-sourced for this state specifically). Headlight timing/visibility figures and the hill-parking wheel-direction convention are carried from standard, near-universal driver-handbook guidance and were not independently re-verified against Texas-specific primary statute text this pass. Re-verify periodically, as DPS handbook content, fees, and thresholds change over time.
