Every Day Without This Course Is a Day Without Your License

For anyone 18 to 24 in Andrews County, the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is not optional. DPS will not process your first license application without the ADE-1317 certificate. For adults 25 and older, finishing the course means you walk into the Midland DPS Driver License Office, about 35 miles from Andrews, without sitting for a separate written knowledge test. The driving skills test still happens in person. Get the course done and get to that appointment.

Questions Andrews Residents Ask Before Enrolling

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 years old applying for their first Texas driver license to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before DPS will process the application. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, with Section 84.503 specifically governing adult enrollment. Adults 25 and older are not required to take it, but completing the course lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion on passing. If you are an Andrews County resident in either age group, enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and start the same day.

Does passing the course exam mean I skip the written test at DPS?

Yes. The 30-question final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, as recognized under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines tied to Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You do not retake a written test at the DPS office when you apply for your license. The exam covers road signs and road rules in a multiple-choice format, and you must score 70% or higher to pass. What remains after the course is the in-person driving skills test at the DPS Driver License Office. For Andrews residents, that office is in Midland, approximately 35 miles from Andrews on TX-176.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, which is the state-mandated minimum under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, meaning you can finish the full requirement in a single day or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically server-side after each section, so logging out does not cost you completed work. There is no enforced daily limit and no mandatory break timer built into the course. Andrews County residents with unpredictable schedules can work through the material at whatever pace fits their week without losing ground between sessions.

What is the ADE-1317 certificate and what do I do with it at DPS?

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued by a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider after you pass the course final exam. It is the document DPS requires when you apply for your first Texas driver license, as specified under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues the ADE-1317 digitally once you pass. Bring it with you to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply. For Andrews residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office that handles road tests is in Midland, about 35 miles from Andrews. Confirm current DPS document requirements before your appointment at the Midland office.

Do adults have to log behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course?

No. Adults taking the Texas Adult Driver Education Course are not required to log behind-the-wheel practice hours as part of this course. That requirement applies to the teen driver education program, not to the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, and Section 84.503. The adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered here as text and image based online lessons with quizzes and a final exam. The in-person driving skills test at DPS is still required and separate from this course, but no practice hour log is submitted as part of your adult enrollment. Andrews County residents should confirm current DPS driving skills test scheduling at the Midland DPS Driver License Office before their appointment.

Why would someone 25 or older take this course if it is not required?

The main reason is skipping the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines tied to Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passing its final exam substitutes for that written test at the DPS office. For Andrews County residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office is in Midland, roughly 35 miles away on TX-176. Driving out there twice, once for the written test and once for the driving skills test, costs time and fuel. Finishing the course online eliminates that first trip entirely. Adults 25 and older who have never held a Texas license and want to consolidate their DPS visits to one appointment have a practical reason to enroll.
