Default Re: Driving a car in Texas - Age?

Is it because my friend is German? (different law for foreigners)
Was it a white lie because he was just afraid to loose his car in an accident?

Can you please ask a police officer?
I'm from Houston, and I can tell you that the driving age in Texas most definitely is 16. However, I can't comment on the laws for those with only a foreign driver's license. I would have a hard time believing it's 21 with a foreign license, though.

BTW, I prefer Dallas over Houston, and this is a good time of year to visit. Come May, it's going to be 100 degrees and 100% humidity for about five months in a row.
