16 Tex. Admin. Code § 84.601 - Additional Procedures for Student Certification and Transfers
(a) Unused DE-964s
must not be transferred to another school without written approval by the
department.
(b) The DE-964 document
is a government record as defined under Texas Penal Code, §
37.01(2).
Any misrepresentation by the applicant or person issuing the form as to the
prerequisite set forth may result in suspension or revocation of instructor
credentials or program approval and/or criminal prosecution.
(c) The superintendent, college or university
chief school official, ESC director, or their designee may request to receive
serially numbered DE-964 certificates for exempt schools by submitting a
completed order on the form provided by the department stating the number of
certificates to be purchased and including payment of all appropriate fees. The
department will accept purchase requisitions from school districts.
(d) All DE-964 certificates and records of
certificates must be provided to the department or DPS upon request. The
superintendent, college or university chief school official, ESC director, or
their designee must maintain the school copies of the certificates. The chief
school official, ESC or DPS director, or their designee must return unissued
DE-964 certificates to the department within 30 days from the date the school
discontinues the driver education program, unless otherwise notified.
(e) The public school may accept any part of
the driver education instruction received by a student in another state;
however, the student must complete all the course requirements for a Texas
driver education program. Driver education instruction completed in another
state must be certified in writing by the chief official or course instructor
of the school where the instruction was given and include the hours and minutes
of instruction and a complete description of each lesson provided. The
certification document must be attached to the student's individual record at
the Texas school and be maintained with the record for three years or as
mandated by the school district.
(f) Students who are licensed in another
state and have completed that state's driver education program should contact
the DPS for information on the licensing reciprocal agreement between that
state and Texas.
(g) All records of
instruction must be included as part of the student's final history when it is
necessary to compile multiple records to verify that a student successfully
completed a driver education course.
