Every Day Without This Course Is a Day Without Your License

For Beverly Hills residents between 18 and 24, the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is a hard requirement before the DPS will process your license application. Finishing the course and passing the built-in written test gets you to the Waco DPS Driver License Office, about 30 miles from Beverly Hills, ready to schedule your driving skills test. The sooner you finish, the sooner you are on the road legally.

Questions Beverly Hills Residents Ask Before Enrolling

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas requires the Adult Driver Education Course for anyone between 18 and 24 applying for their first Texas driver license. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults 25 and older are not required to complete the course, but many take it anyway to skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion upon passing. Falls County residents in either age group can enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and start working toward their license today.

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

Yes. The 30-question final exam built into this course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test under current Texas DPS requirements. Pass the exam at the required score and you do not retake the written test in person at the Waco DPS Driver License Office, which serves Beverly Hills area residents about 30 miles away. This substitution is part of the framework established under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is a separate requirement and still happens at the office regardless of how you completed the written portion.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, as mandated under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so you can finish the entire course in a single day or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically after each section on the server side, so logging out does not cost you completed work. For Beverly Hills residents with jobs or other commitments, that flexibility matters. The final exam must be passed at 70% before the ADE-1317 certificate is issued, so plan to finish all instruction before attempting the exam.

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

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued by your TDLR approved provider after you pass the course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for your first driver license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you bring this certificate to the DPS Driver License Office when submitting your license application. For Beverly Hills residents, that means the Waco DPS Driver License Office, roughly 30 miles away in McLennan County. The certificate is issued digitally once you pass. Print it or have it accessible on your phone. Do not show up at the DPS without it, because the application will not move forward.

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. That requirement applies to the teen driver education program, which operates under different rules within Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The adult course covers the knowledge portion only: road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material delivered through text and image based interactive lessons. The driving skills test at the DPS is still required and happens in person at the Waco DPS Driver License Office for Beverly Hills area residents. But you do not need a driving log or a certified instructor to sign off on practice hours before you can complete 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 Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, adults 25 and older are not required to take the course, but completing it and passing the built-in final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. That means one less step at the Waco DPS Driver License Office, which serves Beverly Hills area residents about 30 miles away. For someone who has never held a Texas license and wants to walk into the DPS with the written portion already handled, this course makes that possible. The driving skills test is still required in person regardless of age.
