About Us

Nova Driving School was founded in 2003 with a single vehicle and a bold mission: to redefine driver education through innovation, integrity, and excellence. What began as a small family business has grown into a nationally respected program with over 60 vehicles equipped with GPS and video monitoring to ensure safety and accountability.
Nova is woman-owned and led by Diana Villegas, whose entrepreneurial journey is marked by resilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to community. Inspired by her parents’ relentless work ethic in Ecuador, Diana has built Nova into a socially responsible organization that gives back—supporting orphanages, immigrant families, and youth programs across the U.S. and abroad.
Nova Driving School Texas brings this legacy of excellence to the Lone Star State, offering TDLR-licensed instruction with a student-centered approach. The Texas branch continues Nova’s tradition of empowering students to become safe, confident drivers—while serving families with the same care and caution you’d expect from a parent.
