Questions Andrews County Adults Ask Before Enrolling

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires first-time license applicants between 18 and 24 years old to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before applying for a Texas driver license. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, specifically Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course, but completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test when they apply at the DPS office. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion on passing. If you are an Andrews County resident in either age group, enrolling through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, gets you started today.

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

Yes. The 30-question final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. Under current Texas DPS requirements aligned with Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, passing the course final exam at the required score means you do not retake the written knowledge test in person at the DPS Driver License Office. The exam covers road signs and road rules, the same material the DPS written test pulls from. Once you pass, you get your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. Bring that certificate to the Midland DPS Driver License Office, about 35 miles from Andrews, and you move straight to the driving skills test.

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. There is no daily hour cap, so you can finish the full course 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 any completed work. For Andrews County residents with unpredictable schedules, that matters. You are not locked into a classroom timetable or a drive to Midland every session. Log in when you have time, finish a section, and come back when you are ready.

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

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, confirming you finished a TDLR approved adult driver education course. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues your digital ADE-1317 after you pass the course final exam at the required score. That certificate is what the Texas DPS requires when you apply for your first driver license. You bring it to the DPS Driver License Office, the nearest one for Andrews County residents being in Midland, roughly 35 miles away on US-385. Without it, the DPS will not process a first-time license application for anyone in the 18 to 24 age group. Keep a digital copy saved somewhere accessible.

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 the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The adult course focuses entirely on the classroom instruction component, which you complete through the online lessons and the final exam. The driving skills test at the DPS is still required and separate from this course. You schedule that test at the Midland DPS Driver License Office after you have your ADE-1317 certificate in hand. No practice hour logs, no instructor sign-offs on a driving record for this course.

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

The main reason is skipping the in-person DPS written knowledge test. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older who complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the built-in final exam do not have to take the written knowledge test at the DPS Driver License Office. For Andrews County residents, that means one fewer reason to make the roughly 35-mile drive to the Midland DPS office. As of the latest TDLR guidelines under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, the course final exam substitutes for that test. You still take the driving skills test in person, but you walk into the Midland DPS office with the written portion already handled and your ADE-1317 certificate ready to hand over.
