Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course immediately. The course runs through text-based interactive lessons with images and quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section so you never lose your place if you need to log out.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and alcohol and drug impairment content. Section quizzes check your understanding before you move forward. No live video streams, no scheduled class times. You move through it on your own terms.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

After completing 6 hours of TDLR-approved instruction, you take a 30-question final exam covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or higher and you receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test.

Fixed Class Times

Travel to Amarillo

No licensed adult driver ed classroom operates in Borger, so every session means a round trip.

Delayed Certificate

Certificate processing depends on the school's timeline, not on when you personally finish.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

Here is what the time commitment looks like compared to the in-person alternative for Hutchinson County residents.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Six hours of course instruction with no daily cap, completable in one day or spread across multiple sessions at your own schedule.
In-Person Classroom Multiple trips from Borger to Amarillo, roughly 55 miles each way, plus fixed class hours you cannot rearrange around your life.

What You Pay Versus the Alternative

Factor in the real cost of in-person driver education when you live in Borger and the nearest classroom is in Amarillo.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course Flat $38.00 for the full Texas Adult Driver Education Course including your ADE-1317 certificate on passing.
In-Person Classroom Higher tuition plus fuel costs for multiple Borger-to-Amarillo round trips, totaling well above the online course price.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas, and who takes it by choice?

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 applying for a first Texas driver license to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their application. 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 Class C written knowledge test, which is a real time saver for anyone in Hutchinson County who would otherwise drive to the Amarillo DPS Driver License Office just to sit for the written exam. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net to get started either way.

How does passing the course final exam replace the DPS written knowledge test?

The 30-question final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is designed to substitute for the DPS Class C written knowledge test under current TDLR guidelines and Texas DPS requirements. When you pass the final at the required score, you receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate tells the Amarillo DPS Driver License Office that you have already met the written knowledge requirement through your TDLR-approved course. You do not retake the written test in person at the DPS. The driving skills test is a separate step and still happens in person at the DPS regardless. Bring your ADE-1317 certificate when you go to apply for your license.

How long does the course take, and can you finish it in one day?

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 on this course, so finishing all 6 hours in a single day is possible if your schedule allows it. You can also spread sessions across multiple days since the course saves your progress server-side after each section. For Borger residents juggling work schedules or family obligations, that kind of flexibility is practical. Log in from wherever you are, finish a section, and pick it back up later. The course does not expire on a fixed deadline, so work through it at a pace that fits your life.

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

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion for the Texas Adult Driver Education Course, issued by your TDLR-approved provider once 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 the ADE-1317 to the DPS Driver License Office as proof you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement. For Borger residents, that means the Amarillo DPS Driver License Office, located roughly 55 miles south on US-87. The certificate is issued digitally after you pass, so you can print it or have it ready on your device. Do not show up at the DPS without it.

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, Section 84.503. The adult course is instruction-based: you complete the lessons, pass the section quizzes, and pass the 30-question final exam. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step from this course, but there is no state-mandated practice hour log for adults going through this program. Once you have your ADE-1317 certificate, schedule your driving skills test at the Amarillo DPS Driver License Office and go from there.

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 apply for a first Texas license without completing the adult driver education course have to pass the written knowledge test at the DPS in person. For someone in Borger, that means driving roughly 55 miles to the Amarillo DPS Driver License Office, waiting in line, and sitting for the exam. Completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course through a TDLR-approved provider like TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, substitutes for that test entirely. The course also covers Texas road signs and traffic laws in detail, so you walk into the driving skills test knowing the rules cold. That is worth something on its own.
