Our behind-the-wheel lessons are great for teens needing the 7 hours behind the wheel and 7 hours of observation required by the State of Texas for a license. By taking lessons with Coastline, you'll have the skills and confidence to pass your Texas driving test and get on the road in Mansfield!

In addition to driving lessons for teenagers, Coastline also offers lessons for adults seeking to become safer and more confident drivers in their everyday lives. Whether it's your first time driving in the Mansfield region or you're looking to practice for an upcoming Texas driving test, our expert, certified instructors are here for you!

Coastline's hiring standards and training program go above and beyond to ensure your and your child's safety when in the car. All Coastline instructors undergo multiple background checks and complete a rigorous training program to help ensure their readiness and knowledge in the lesson. When you choose Coastline Academy, you are choosing Mansfield's top driving educators!

A typical Coastline lesson is two hours long, adhering to the Texas state standard of one hour of behind-the-wheel activity and one hour of observation for teenaged drivers. Your lesson time starts from when we pick you up and ends when we drop you off.

Good, prepared, and confident drivers pass their road test. Because of this, we focus on developing and mastering core skills first, including basic driving maneuvers, residential driving, commercial driving, and highway driving! Once you're confident in these skills, we'll help guide you through the road test by explaining the testing process from beginning to end, including administering a mock driving test during one of your last lessons!

Every driver's needs and progress differ, which is why every Coastline lesson is customized for you. Note, all minors in Mansfield and in Texas are required to take 14 total hours of professional driving instruction, which will include 7 hours of behind-the-wheel practice and 7 hours of student observation.

Coastline provides all the tools and materials you need for your lessons, including a vehicle, certified Mansfield-area instructor, and insurance! All you need to bring is a positive attitude and a willingness to learn!

At the end of each lesson session, your instructor will complete a lesson report which will summarize the skills you have masters and those that need more practice. You'll also get a personalized message with helpful tips and resources to study and try between your lessons, meaning you can maximize your practice time!

A great experience or we'll make it right.

If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your driving lesson, we will make it right. We can redo your lesson either with the same instructor or a different one, at your option. Or, if you prefer, you can get a full refund.
