Who receives a Phase Two Provisional License?

A Phase Two Provisional License is granted to individuals aged 16 to 18 who have successfully passed a driving examination. This phase is part of the Graduated Licensing Program in Texas, which is designed to provide a structured process for young drivers to gain experience behind the wheel while ensuring safety.

At this point in the licensing process, the individual has already completed the earlier phase, which typically involves obtaining a learner’s permit. The transition to a Phase Two Provisional License indicates that the driver has not only demonstrated the ability to operate a vehicle independently but has also met the necessary requirements that emphasize safe driving practices.

This license comes with certain restrictions, such as limits on the number of passengers and nighttime driving, which are intended to help young drivers continue to develop their skills in a supervised environment. The structured progression from a learner permit to a provisional license aims to enhance the overall driving experience and safety for young drivers.
