        • At ParentTaught.com, this is the most commonly asked-for form that is no longer required. You may be surprised to hear we have never issued one to a student. Our company was started after this form was removed. This log was used to track the 32 hours of required classroom instruction.

        • No longer required as well!
        • Another form that is no longer required.

        What should you do if the DPS is asking for a form that is no longer required?

        If the DPS says you need another form (for example, forms DL-90A, DL-90B, or DL-91A), please email TPSTprogram@dps.texas.gov with the full name of your child, the DPS location, and the issue you are having. These forms have been phased out. Please note: We cannot resolve issues with your local DPS office.
