How to Verify a Texas Driving Safety Provider
Use the provider's CP number, current license status, and matching provider identity to verify who is actually delivering the course.
Quick answer
Verify the CP number, status, and provider identity.
Start with the provider's CP license number whenever possible. Confirm the provider record is current, match the licensed provider to the course website or brand, and use the official TDLR Driving Safety Provider Search when you need the state's authoritative licensing record.
Check current status
Confirm the provider record shows a current license before you enroll.
Match the provider
Trace the licensed provider name or approved DBA to the website selling the course.
Why the CP number is the strongest first check
Texas driving safety provider licenses use CP numbers. A CP number is usually more precise than a brand name because providers can operate under approved business or assumed names, and several names can look similar in advertising.
If you already know the CP number, enter it directly into the directory search. If not, search by provider name and compare the result to the website or course you are considering.

4 checks that help confirm the provider is legitimate
Use these together rather than relying on a provider name, logo, or advertising claim by itself.
Check the license status
Look for a current provider record. This directory synchronizes public TDLR provider records daily, but the official TDLR record remains the authoritative source if you need to confirm the latest status.
Match the provider name
Compare the licensed provider name with the business or course website. Approved DBAs and branding can differ, so the goal is a reasonable, traceable relationship between the licensed provider and the course being sold.
Check the website relationship
When TDLR data includes a provider website, compare that information with the course destination you are considering. A matching CP number is especially useful when brand names differ.
Use the official TDLR search
For the state's own licensing record, use the TDLR Driving Safety Provider Search. Inclusion verifies licensing status; it is not an endorsement or recommendation.
