| (a) Unused DE-964s must not be transferred to another
school without written approval by the department.
(b) The DE-964 document is a government record as defined
under Texas Penal Code, §37.01(2). Any misrepresentation by the
applicant or person issuing the form as to the prerequisite set forth
may result in suspension or revocation of instructor credentials or
program approval and/or criminal prosecution.
(c) The superintendent, college or university chief
school official, ESC director, or their designee may request to receive
serially numbered DE-964 certificates for exempt schools by submitting
a completed order on the form provided by the department stating the
number of certificates to be purchased and including payment of all
appropriate fees. The department will accept purchase requisitions
from school districts.
(d) All DE-964 certificates and records of certificates
must be provided to the department or DPS upon request. The superintendent,
college or university chief school official, ESC director, or their
designee must maintain the school copies of the certificates. The

driver education program. Driver education instruction completed in
another state must be certified in writing by the chief official or
course instructor of the school where the instruction was given and

of each lesson provided. The certification document must be attached
to the student's individual record at the Texas school and be maintained
with the record for seven years.

have completed that state's driver education program should contact
the DPS for information on the licensing reciprocal agreement between
that state and Texas.
(g) All records of instruction must be included as
part of the student's final history when it is necessary to compile
multiple records to verify that a student successfully completed a
driver education course.
