The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation adopted amendments to existing rules at 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 84, Subchapter A, §84.3; Subchapter M, §84.500 and §84.504; Subchapter N, §84.600; and the Program Guides, regarding the Driver Education and Safety program. The adopted amendments address the Legislature’s driver training instruction changes for the implementation of SB 1366 for the DES program, which mandates that driver training course curriculum includes information relating to the dangers and penalties associated with violating traffic laws in construction and maintenance work zones. The DES Program Guides were amended to reflect the changes mandated by SB 1366.
The adoption justification was published in the April 24, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 2765) and is available online. The updated rule chapter will be available on the Secretary of State website upon its effective date of May 1, 2026.
