Under Texas law does a teen under the age of 18 have to a person over the age of 25 in the car?
Find answers to your legal question.

My mom keeps telling me that even if you have your driver's license, if your under 18 years old you have to have some over the age of 25 in the car with you while your driving? I've looked up the laws and haven't seen that. So is that true or not?

I have not looked it up or anything but i reallly don't think so. I got pulled over 2 times before i turned 18 and I figure if that was a law that cop would have said something. AND i got in a fender bender the day i got my license and I just had a friend that was also 16 in the car and the cops came and didnt mention that so as far as i know that sounds like your mom made that up to keep you from driving alone to keep her less paranoid...not sure about the six months thing so the person above could be right about that
