What is the designation for licenses issued to individuals under 21 in Texas?

In Texas, licenses issued to individuals under the age of 21 are designated as 'Provisional'. This designation reflects specific restrictions and requirements aimed at young drivers to promote safety and responsible driving behavior.

For instance, a provisional license may come with limitations on passenger numbers and nighttime driving, intended to help young drivers gain experience in a safer environment. Therefore, the term 'Provisional' captures the essence of the restrictions and conditions that apply to young drivers, indicating that they are still in a developmental phase in their driving journey.

Other terms, such as 'Under 21', 'Class Non-Restricted', and 'Temporary', do not accurately describe the official classification of licenses for young drivers in Texas and do not carry the specific stipulations that accompany the provisional license status. 'Provisional' provides a clear indication of the additional oversight in place for drivers who are still developing their skills.
