Yes you do. You would need a motorcycle license.
This is covered in the Transportation Code:
Sec. 521.084. CLASS M LICENSE. A Class M driver’s license authorizes the holder of the license to operate a motorcycle or moped.
If you are at least 15 years old, but not yet 18, you could get a restricted Class-M license or a moped license to drive a moped.
Sec. 521.224. RESTRICTED CLASS M LICENSE. (a) In this section, “motorcycle” includes a motor driven cycle.
(b) The department may issue a special restricted Class M license that authorizes the holder to operate only a motorcycle that has not more than a 250 cubic centimeter piston displacement.
(c) A person is eligible for a restricted motorcycle license if the person:
(1) is 15 years of age or older but under 18 years of age;
(2) has completed and passed a motorcycle operator training course approved by the department; and
(3) has met the requirements imposed under Section 521.145.
(d) The department shall make the motorcycle operator training course available.
(e) On the 16th birthday of a holder of a special restricted Class M license, the department shall remove the 250 cubic centimeter restriction from the license without completion by the holder of an additional motorcycle operator training course.
Sec. 521.225. MOPED LICENSE. (a) A person may not operate a moped unless the person holds a driver’s license. An applicant for a moped license must be 15 years of age or older.
(b) The department shall administer to an applicant for a moped license a written examination relating to the traffic laws applicable to the operation of mopeds. A test involving the operation of the vehicle is not required.
(c) An applicable provision of this chapter relating to a restricted Class M license applies also to a moped license, including a provision relating to the application, issuance, duration, suspension, cancellation, or revocation of that license.
(d) The department shall certify whether a vehicle alleged to be a moped is a moped. The department shall:
(1) by rule establish the procedure for determining whether a vehicle is a moped;
(2) compile a list of mopeds certified by the department; and
(3) make the list available to the public on request.
