Hempstead, Texas Online Driver’s Ed

The Waller County baseline identifies:

Hempstead Driver License Office 235 Business Highway 290 E. Hempstead, TX.

DPS property records confirm a Hempstead Area Office at that same address, while the county baseline retains separate evidence supporting driver-license functions there.

Applicants should still verify:

• Appointment availability
• Learner-license services
• Class C testing
• Current hours
• Required documents

before visiting.

U.S. 290 is Hempstead’s main east-west corridor.

Students should practice:

• Highway-speed control
• Lane discipline
• Truck awareness
• Early turn preparation
• Following distance
• Speed transitions near town

U.S. 290 also connects Hempstead eastward with Prairie View and Waller.

SH 6 meets U.S. 290 in Hempstead and creates one of Waller County’s most important highway junctions.

Students should learn to:

• Read route signs early.
• Enter the correct lane before the junction.
• Watch traffic joining from other highways.
• Avoid late lane changes.

Business U.S. 290 provides a lower-speed alternative to the main U.S. 290 corridor and is especially relevant because the Hempstead Driver License Office is located there.

Students can practice:

• Commercial entrances
• Local intersections
• Speed transitions
• Railroad awareness
• Parking and civic traffic

Waller County government is based at:

836 Austin Street Hempstead, TX 77445.

Downtown students should expect:

• Government employees
• Court visitors
• Parked vehicles
• Pedestrians
• Drivers unfamiliar with local streets

TxDOT held one of its July 2026 36A North public scoping meetings at the Waller County Fairgrounds in Hempstead.

The proposed project would connect I-10 to U.S. 290 through a 20- to 25-mile study area primarily in Waller County.

This is planning-stage infrastructure.
