Texas Parent-Taught Driver Education · Pilot

Your teen's 44 hours, measured.

Metutela records each supervised drive automatically, sorts it into the Texas PTDE categories, and explains how your teen drove: not just what happened, but why.

The Texas requirement

Paper logs prove the hours. Metutela shows the driving inside them.

Texas PTDE learners complete 44 hours of supervised driving. Today most families track them on paper. Metutela fills in the log as you drive, one hour at a time.

44hours of behind-the-wheel training

Driving instruction 7 hThe supervising parent teaches; the learner drives.
Observation 7 hThe learner watches the parent drive.
Supervised practice 30 hThe learner drives with the parent in the car.
At night 10 of the 30 hPractice after sunset, counted separately.

How it works

Set up once, then just drive.

  1. Sign up as the supervising parent

    Fill in the form below. We text you a private link to install the app.

  2. Install the app on your phone

    Open the link on your phone. The app sets itself up from your invitation.

  3. Invite your learner

    Add your teen from inside the app. They install it on their phone and link to you.

  4. Drive and confirm

    Drives are detected and pre-sorted by category. You review each one and confirm you supervised it.

After every drive

See how risk formed, not just what happened.

Most driving apps list events: a hard brake here, a burst of speed there. Metutela explains the pattern behind them, so the conversation after the drive is about habits, not blame.

  • Each session is scored and explained in plain language.
  • Progress toward each category of the 44 hours, including night driving.
  • Your learner sees their own scores and how they're improving.
  • Phones work normally during the drive, so navigation and music still play.
