Texas rules the test loves to ask
- Texas requires an approved motorcycle safety course (MSF Basic RiderCourse) for every new applicant; completing it can waive the knowledge test.
- Helmets are required under 21; riders 21+ can qualify for an exemption with course completion or qualifying insurance.
- Passengers must be at least 5 years old, and lane splitting is illegal.
How the Texas motorcycle knowledge test works
The Texas DPS knowledge test for a motorcycle permit has 25 multiple-choice questions, and you need 20 correct (80%) to pass. Questions are drawn from the official motorcycle manual and cover riding technique, hazard awareness, and the motorcycle-specific laws of your state, not just general road rules.
The practice test above mirrors that format. Use Quick or Full practice to learn with an explanation after every answer, then switch to the exam simulator for a timed, no-feedback run that tells you whether you are ready before you book the real thing.

Texas motorcycle permit FAQ
How many questions are on the Texas motorcycle test?
The Texas DPS motorcycle knowledge test has 25 questions and you need 20 correct (80%) to pass. Practicing here still helps even if your test gets waived, because the course exam covers the same material.
Can the Texas motorcycle written test be waived?
Yes. Texas requires an approved motorcycle safety course for all new Class M applicants, and completing it allows DPS to waive the knowledge test. Check the DPS site for the current process.
Do I have to wear a helmet in Texas?
Riders under 21 must always wear a USDOT-compliant helmet. Riders 21 and older may legally ride without one only if they have completed a safety course or carry qualifying medical insurance, though wearing one is always the safer choice.
Is lane splitting legal in Texas?
No. Riding between lanes of traffic is illegal in Texas. Motorcycles are entitled to a full traffic lane, and the test expects you to know both rules.
