At what age can applicants receive a Class C License in Texas?

In Texas, an applicant can obtain a Class C License at the age of 16. This enables individuals to operate standard passenger vehicles. The minimum age requirement for a Class C license is specifically set at 16, which is part of the graduated licensing program that encourages safe driving practices for young drivers. Individuals who turn 16 can apply for this license after holding a learner's permit for a designated period, demonstrating their capability to drive responsibly.

The option indicating 18 years and older refers more to certain other licenses or permits but does not pertain to the initial eligibility for a Class C license. Similarly, those younger than 16 or at 21 do not apply to the basic requirements for obtaining a Class C license as defined by Texas law.
