Driving test information

[wondergirl9847]

I'm going to get an instruction permit (yes, I'm 29, shat up. LOL) tomorrow (hopefully) and would like some information. If anyone has taken this test (in Texas preferably, but wherever), how long does it take, how many questions does it have and any tips?

I'm not going for the license because I don't wanna take the driving test. LOL I only need a permit so I can drive in emergencies and when we go on our trip to Colorado, I wanna be prepared. My dad got sick when we went to New Mexico, and if my mom had not been there, I would have been stuck in the hotel with him.

Thanks!
