We received notice that Midlothian Driving School in Midlothian, Texas has closed.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which regulates driver training courses and providers, is working to obtain student records and collect on the surety bond that schools are required to post as part of their licensing requirements. The surety bond is used to reimburse students who have paid for courses they were unable to complete because of a school closure.
TDLR expects to receive the student records in March. Once TDLR processes the records, they will be mailed to the address listed on the student’s enrollment contract. The department will then file on the $10,000.00 school bond, and issue refunds based on the number of students affected by the closure and the number of hours the student had already completed at the school.
Student Records
Coastline Academy is offering to assist students affected by the closure by allowing them to continue their driver education with no interruption and at no additional cost by transferring any remaining lessons they needed to complete. Coastline will accept transfers through February 28, 2025.
Students who do not wish to complete their education at Coastline Academy, can contact TDLR to obtain their records, verification of instruction letter and/or partial refund if applicable. These documents are issued once the department has received and sorted through the records, which may take a few months.
