Houston, Texas has 29 schools across 19 ZIP codes, which is 8% of everything listed for Texas.

All of them sit in Harris County.

These 29 entries come from a register that publishes no registration dates at all. They were on the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026.

All 29 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider.

27 of the 29 (93%) hold more than one class of registration. Across this page the classes held include Class B (27), Class A (26), Hazardous Materials (21), Passenger (17), School Bus (15).

By what they actually deliver: 27 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads, 26 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range and 25 offer classroom or online theory instruction. 26 of the 29 can deliver both the range and the public-road portions, which matters because 49 CFR 380.707(c) allows the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to come from different providers but requires both behind-the-wheel portions to come from the same one. 2 offer theory only, so a trainee using one of them needs a second provider for the driving half.

All 29 publish a phone number and 24 have a website.

The Training Provider Registry publishes a phone number and a website for some providers and not for others, so the coverage below varies by place.

4 of the 29 entries could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 4 of those are currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, but not on the map.

18 of the 29 have a Google rating, averaging 4.5 across 3760 reviews. Scores run from 1.0 to 5.0.

Houston, Texas ranks 1st of the 170 cities covered in this category, holding 8% of the listings, ahead of 169 others.

Every record on this page comes from Training Provider Registry, published by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov as dataset training-provider-registry.

What the rules require

Houston: questions

Where can I find schools in Houston, TX?
29 schools in Houston are on the official list: Kindle Trucking School at 16221 North Freeway; King CDL Academy at 3318 Fondren Rd; 1st Choice Cdl Academy at 10050 Northwest Fwy Suite #105, and 26 more listed above. All of them publish a phone number.
What is the nearest option outside Houston?
Global Driving School in Stafford, about 8.1 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.
How many schools are there in Harris county?
38 in Harris county and 354 across Texas.
Are these schools currently licensed?
The state register these records come from publishes no registration dates. Each of these 29 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the source register is a registration, not a business. 27 of the 29 entries on this page hold more than one class of registration at the same address. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the place rather than on the registration, so one business is one listing and every class it holds is shown in its record detail.
Which of these can do the behind-the-wheel training?
26 of the 29 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. 2 offer theory only. The distinction matters: 49 CFR 380.707(c) permits the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to be delivered by separate providers, but requires both behind-the-wheel portions, range and public road, to come from the same provider. Breakdown here: behind-the-wheel public-road training 27, behind-the-wheel range training 26, theory instruction 25.
How many are rated?
18 of 29 have a Google rating, averaging 4.5 across 3760 reviews.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
4 of these 29 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.
