Stamford is different from the other cities in this Haskell County batch because it crosses county lines. The City of Stamford is located in both Haskell and Jones counties, with most of the city in Jones County. (TML Members)
The city sits along US 277 and SH 6 and is a regional community for drivers traveling between Haskell County, Jones County, and the Abilene area. Stamford also has Lake Stamford and hosts regional events, which can add travel activity at certain times. (Stamford, Tx | Visit, Shop, Stay!)
Students in the Haskell County portion of Stamford follow the same Texas driver education rules as students elsewhere in the state.

Haskell County has US 277, US 380, SH 6, SH 283, and numerous Farm-to-Market roads. Agriculture and rural travel remain important to the county. (Haskell County, TX)
Stamford adds an important regional connection because US 277 runs through the city and continues north toward Haskell County communities and south toward the Abilene area. (Stamford, Tx | Visit, Shop, Stay!)
Stamford has a small-town street environment but sits close to a major regional highway. A new driver may move from downtown or residential streets onto US 277 quickly.
The city also has Lake Stamford and hosts the Texas Cowboy Reunion. Visitors and event traffic can make familiarity with the local street grid useful during major community events. (Stamford, Tx | Visit, Shop, Stay!)
For Stamford students, the key skill is moving safely between local streets and US 277.
US 277 carries regional traffic and connects Stamford with communities beyond the city. A beginning driver should practice lane positioning, turning movements, speed transitions, and safe entry onto the highway.
The Texas Cowboy Reunion is an established Stamford event. Students should be prepared for unfamiliar drivers and additional vehicles around event areas when major community events are underway. (Stamford, Tx | Visit, Shop, Stay!)
Trips toward Lake Stamford introduce a different setting from the downtown grid. Students should maintain attention when moving from developed streets to roads serving recreational areas. (Stamford, Tx | Visit, Shop, Stay!)
Once outside the city, students may encounter agricultural equipment, long stretches of roadway, and higher speeds.
Students in the Haskell County portion of Stamford can take an eligible online course from home. The city and county boundary does not change Texas driver education requirements.
