Driving School Desk helps Texas schools keep records organized and inspections less scrambling — student vault, road test prerequisites, instruction logs, certificate control numbers, and OLS CSV export. Your school remains responsible for filing with TDLR.
Vendor notice: Driving School Desk is software for licensed Texas driver education providers. We are not a TDLR-licensed school, not a TDLR partner, and not a substitute for your provider obligations. Your school remains responsible for enrollment contracts, certificates, and OLS filing.
An unannounced audit should not mean scrambling through folders. These obligations sit with the licensed provider — DSD is built to help you meet them with less chaos.
See TDLR's Driver Education and Safety program for official requirements.
TDLR requires student records for at least three years after completion or withdrawal. DSD stores them securely and locks retention automatically.
DE-964, ADE-1317, learner permits, waivers, ITTD/ITAD, and VOE — all in one vault per student, not scattered folders.
Completion data must reach TDLR within 15 calendar days of each phase. DSD includes OLS export and deadline tracking so you can file on time.
Store student records, track road test readiness, manage certificate control numbers, and prepare OLS CSV exports — without spreadsheets, folders, or a second tool.
Provider license expires in 47 days — alert scheduled
We separate available tools from planned work so you (and regulators) can see exactly what is live.
Student compliance profiles, secure document storage (permits, waivers, ITTD/ITAD, VOEs), audit-pack ZIP download, and provider license expiry alerts at 60/30/7 days.
Age-routed checklist in the booking flow — teens, young adults, and adults see the right documents before they book. Optional block when prerequisites are incomplete.
Behind-the-wheel and classroom logs synced to each student. See who is road-test ready before they show up — attendance, hours, and missing items in one view.
Track DE-964 / ADE-1317 control numbers, vault issued certificates, and run your school’s issuance workflow — without a separate spreadsheet ledger.
Validated CSV export in TDLR OLS format plus a 15-day deadline board so you always know what to submit and when. Your school still files with TDLR.
We are built to support direct completion-data reporting to TDLR. Whether and how that happens is TDLR's call, not ours — we are not assuming a relationship that does not exist today.
E-sign for TDLR sample enrollment forms (DE-005-1, ADE-005-2, DE-005-2) — designed around official sample contracts; your school remains content owner. Coming soon.
Teachworks, Drive Scout, Calendly, and every generic booking tool stop at the calendar. DSD adds student record vaults, road test prerequisite tracking, and Texas TDLR recordkeeping workflows alongside scheduling — so your compliance history lives where your bookings already do.

No. Driving School Desk is independent software for licensed Texas driver education providers. We are not a TDLR partner, not TDLR-approved software, and not a TDLR-licensed school.
The licensed school. DSD helps you store records, track readiness, export OLS CSVs, and prepare for inspections — but your provider obligations remain yours.
Not automatically — you remain responsible. DSD generates the validated OLS export CSV and tracks your 15-day deadline, so you always know exactly what to submit and when.
Yes — you can upload signed contracts to the student vault today. Digital enrollment-contract e-sign (DE-005 / ADE-005 sample forms) is coming soon; until then, paper or scan upload remains the path.
All 50 states get online booking, instructor scheduling, packages, and payment tracking. TDLR-specific features are for Texas providers only.
It can become your system of record for student files, documents, certificates, and logs — so you are not stuck in scattered folders or spreadsheets. You still file OLS with TDLR yourself.
