Adult Behind-the-Wheel Instruction
Whether you are a total beginner or just need to polish your skills before the road test, Monroy Driving School provides the most patient behind-the-wheel instruction (BTW) in Pearland. We don't just teach you to drive; we teach you to navigate Broadway, 288, and the Beltway safely.
-
$95 per session.
Phase 1: The Consultation (10 mins): A quick chat outside the car to discuss their history (e.g., "I haven't driven in 10 years" or "I'm terrified of the 288 highway").
Phase 2: Basic Controls (15 mins): Start in a quiet Pearland parking lot to check comfort with braking, steering, and adjusting mirrors & seats.
Phase 3: The "Real World" Drive (30 mins): A guided drive through residential areas to access intersections and lane changes.
Phase 4: The Roadmap (5 mins): A post-drive debrief to discuss current skill level and recommendations for improvement.

$95 per Session
Ideal for the "Transitioning Driver." They already possess the basic mechanics of driving but lack the specific "local polish" or confidence required to pass the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) road test.
Sample lesson plan:
Session 1: Skills assessment and correcting "bad habits" (one-handed steering, rolling stops, mirror checks).
Session 2: Technical maneuvers (Parallel parking, 2-point turns, and backing up).
Session 3: A "Mock Road Test" on actual Pearland routes to boost confidence leading into the road test.
Programs will be tailored to the individual driver’s skills and comfortability.

$90 per session.
Do you have your permit but feel unready for the busy Houston commute? This bundle is designed for those who need more than just a "quick fix." Over 5–6 hours of 1-on-1 coaching, we move beyond the parking lot. We’ll master the technical maneuvers you need to pass your test and the defensive driving skills you need to survive 518.
Includes: Parallel Parking, Lane Changes, and Intersection Safety.
Bonus: A full Mock Road Test during your final session.
With 2 hours, we stay in the neighborhood. With 5-6 hours, we have time to safely practice entering and exiting the Highway 288 toll roads and feeder systems.

This package is a great choice for a first-time driver.
If the thought of merging onto a Pearland highway makes your heart race, this is the package for you. We take a slow, steady, and patient approach. Over 8+ hours, we move at your pace. We don't just teach you how to pass the test—we teach you how to navigate Texas traffic.
Zero-Pressure Learning: We start in the quietest areas of Pearland until you're ready for more.
Full Highway Mastery: Dedicated time for Pearland’s unique feeder and freeway systems.
The Ultimate Guarantee: You'll head into your Road Test feeling like a seasoned pro, not a nervous student.
To ensure the safety of our students and the community, Monroy Driving School instructors reserve the right to adjust training routes and lesson assessments based on a student’s current driving familiarity and skill level. While we aim to cover all curriculum milestones, instructors may prioritize fundamental vehicle control and defensive maneuvers in a controlled environment before transitioning to high-traffic Houston feeders or intersections. Progress is student-paced to ensure a safe and confident learning experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Ages 18–24: Yes. Texas law requires you to complete a 6-hour Adult Driver Education (ADE) course.
Ages 25+: It is not legally required, but it is highly recommended. Taking the 6-hour course allows you to take the written "Knowledge Test" with us (or online) instead of at the crowded DPS office.
-
Once you complete your 6-hour course and pass the written exam, you’ll receive a certificate (ADE-1317). Take that to the DPS along with your identification documents to get your Restricted B License (your adult permit). This allows you to practice driving with any licensed adult 21+ in the passenger seat.
-
Yes! As a TDLR-approved school, we offer Third-Party Skills Testing. You can skip the months-long wait at the Houston or Pearland DPS offices and take your road test with our friendly instructors in a familiar environment.
Note: You must have a valid Texas learner's permit and have completed the 1-hour "Impact Texas Adult Drivers" video before testing.
-
Yes, to do driving lessons and test with a Third Party Skills Testing center, a driving permit (restricted drivers license) is required.

A temporary permit will be printed for you with your picture which can be used until you receive your plastic card in the mail.

Yes, but there is a specific process you must follow. In Texas, your foreign license is typically valid for up to 90 days after you move here. However, to take the official road test at Monroy Driving School, you must first go to the DPS to apply for a Texas Learner License (B-Restriction). Once you have that plastic or paper permit, you can schedule your road test with us immediately—no waiting period is required for adults 18+.
-
Every adult (18+) taking a road test in Texas must watch a free, 1-hour streaming video about the dangers of distracted driving.
It must be completed within 90 days of your road test.
