I'm 20 and i live in Texas. About a month ago i went to the dps to get my drivers license and they said i can either take the driving test right away and recieve my license or i can get my permit and get a lil practice before i take the behind the wheel test. So i got my permit first so i can practice. Now do i have to hold onto my permit for 6 months to take the driving test? or can i take it anytime i want?
