Do you need a license to ride a scooter in Texas?
Yes. Texas law states that any scooter capable of attaining speeds of 30 MPH or greater requires the rider to have an ordinary motorcycle license.

How do I get a license?
The best way is to take one of the Motorcycle Safety Courses around the state--San Antonio has three schools. The class is two days. and is spent half in the classroom and half on a scooter/motorcycle. You can bring your own scooter or you can use one of theirs. At the end of the class, you receive a completion certificate. Take that certificate to the DPS office and they’ll give you a 15 question test, which you will pass. From that point forward you’ll have your “M” class license.
