How does Driving Log help in Texas?
Driving Log tracks each drive with its day and night minutes and, where Texas sets a numeric target, shows the time you drove beside the time that counts under the configured rules — with the reason whenever they differ. The core app is free, keeps everything on your device and private iCloud, and needs no account. A printable record of every entry is included; sourced worksheet layouts for several states are part of the one-time Pro upgrade.
Common questions
How many driving hours do you need in Texas?
Texas requires 30 hours, including 10 at night. At least 20 hours must be in daytime.
Can you log all the hours in a few long days in Texas?
No. Texas credits at most 2 hours per day, so a longer drive still counts as that maximum. Spreading practice out is the only way to reach the total.
How long must the permit be held in Texas?
The default period is 6 calendar months, starting at permit issue date. Check the applicant and licence-stage paths below for exceptions.
Does Texas accept a printed log from an app?
Texas names TDLR Form DES150N — Driver Education 30 Hour Behind the Wheel Log. Every entry needs the supervising adult's signature. An app printout is a supporting record, not that official form; check the source below for what your office accepts.
