I don’t know, but believe you should assume the worst and be ready. Start practicing—NOW.

It’s part of the NJ driver’s test; don’t know about Texas.

My info. is decades old but it was a part of the test here in Texas in the past and you had to pass it. I don’t recall it being grounds for rejection however, only points off.

The wheels of progress in government agencies turn exceedingly slow so I doubt it has changed..

PS, I had to parallel park twice yesterday. Not sure where you get the idea no one does that any more.

TXDOT requirements
