When does a Texas learner license expire?
-
A.
When the holder turns 21
-
B.
On the holder's 18th birthday Correct
-
C.
When the holder finishes driver education
-
D.
Two years after it was issued
The answer is "On the holder's 18th birthday"
The learner license is tied to the minor's age, not to a fixed number of years. The trap is answer A: the "UNDER 21" mark that Texas prints on every youth license makes 21 feel like the natural expiration point, but that is a label on the card, not the date it stops working.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. When the holder turns 21
Twenty-one is the age at which the "UNDER 21" mark is dropped, not when the learner permit expires. This answer reads the "UNDER 21" mark printed on all youth licenses as the expiration date for the learner permit.
C. When the holder finishes driver education
Finishing driver education opens the path to a provisional license but does not end the learner permit on its own. This answer treats the classroom milestone that unlocks the next license class as the trigger that terminates the previous one.
D. Two years after it was issued
The learner license does not run on a two-year schedule; its life is tied to the applicant's age. This answer pulls the two-year renewal cycle that governs Texas licenses for drivers 85 and older into the youth end of the age chart.
