Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll Online

Create your account with TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider. Confirm you meet the eligibility requirement: a first-time Texas license applicant who is at least 18 years old. Blanco County residents enroll the same way anyone else in Texas does.

Complete the Course

Work through text and image-based interactive lessons covering Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material. Quizzes appear between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground. No live video streams, no scheduled class times.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The final exam is 30 multiple-choice questions covering road signs and road rules. You need a 70% to pass. Passing it satisfies the DPS Class C written knowledge test requirement. You then receive your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion after logging 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction.

You Cannot Apply for Your License Without This

Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, applicants ages 18 to 24 must complete this course before the DPS will issue a first Texas driver license. Every day you wait is another day you are not licensed. Finish the course, pass the final exam, and get to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office, roughly 25 miles from Blanco, ready for your driving skills test.

Questions About the Course in Blanco County

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

First-time Texas license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 are required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their license application. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment in Texas. 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, which is a real time-saver when the nearest DPS Driver License Office for Blanco County residents is in Kerrville, about 25 miles away. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net to get started under current TDLR guidelines.

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

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-approved course standards in Title 16, Chapter 84. Pass the final exam at the required score and you bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the DPS instead of sitting for the written test there. The in-person driving skills test at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office is still required and separate. The course does not replace that. Plan your Kerrville appointment after you have your certificate in hand.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, and there is no daily hour cap, so you can complete the full requirement in a single day or spread it across multiple sessions. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you completed work. Most people working steadily finish in one or two sittings. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, the 6-hour minimum is a firm state requirement, not a suggestion. For Blanco County residents who work around ranch schedules or drive long distances for other obligations, the ability to split sessions makes finishing the course realistic without rearranging your week.

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 under TDLR rules when you finish the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for your first driver license. You bring it to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office, which serves Blanco County residents and sits roughly 25 miles from the town of Blanco. The certificate confirms you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. TrafficSchool.net delivers it digitally after you pass. Print it or have it accessible on your phone when you walk into the DPS.

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. You complete the 6 hours of online instruction, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317. The DPS driving skills test in Kerrville is still required, and practicing your driving before that appointment is obviously a good idea, but the course itself does not track or require a minimum number of practice hours. Focus your preparation on the road signs and traffic law material in the course.

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

The main reason is skipping the DPS written knowledge test. For Blanco County residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office is in Kerrville, about 25 miles away. Making one trip for the driving skills test is manageable. Making a separate trip just to sit for the written test adds time and fuel. Under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines in Title 16, Chapter 84, completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passing its final exam substitutes for that in-person written test. Adults 25 and older who enroll through TrafficSchool.net can finish the course on their own schedule, get the ADE-1317 certificate, and show up to the Kerrville DPS needing only the driving skills test.
