Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone applying for a first Texas driver license between the ages of 18 and 24 must 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 it, but completing the course lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Both groups end up at the same place: the Wichita Falls DPS Driver License Office with an ADE-1317 certificate in hand. If you are in Burkburnett and in either group, enrolling now gets you moving toward your license.

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, as recognized under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines. You do not retake a written test when you show up at the Wichita Falls DPS Driver License Office. The exam covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. Score the required passing score and the course issues your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, which is what the DPS accepts in place of the in-person written test. The driving skills test at the DPS is still a separate requirement you complete in person. Finish the course, bring your certificate, and you walk in ready for that skills test.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction to satisfy the state mandate under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so you can complete the entire course in a single day if you have the time. You can also split it across multiple sessions since progress saves automatically after each section. Burkburnett residents working around jobs or other obligations can log in and out as needed without losing completed work. The final exam must be passed at 70% to receive your ADE-1317 certificate. Once that certificate is in hand, you can schedule your driving skills test at the Wichita Falls DPS Driver License Office, roughly 10 miles from Burkburnett.

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 a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider when you finish the course and pass the final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for a first-time driver license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you bring this certificate to the Wichita Falls DPS Driver License Office, located about 10 miles south of Burkburnett, when you submit your license application. The certificate confirms you completed the adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. TrafficSchool.net issues it digitally after you pass. Print it or have it accessible on your phone when you go to the DPS office for your appointment.

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 the 6-hour classroom-equivalent instruction component. The separate driving skills test at the DPS is still required, and you take that in person at the Wichita Falls DPS Driver License Office. But there is no hour log to submit, no driving record to turn in, and no instructor sign-off on practice time. Finish the course, pass the final, get your ADE-1317 certificate, and head to the DPS for your skills test.

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

The practical 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 receive an ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion that substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. That means one fewer step at the Wichita Falls DPS Driver License Office, which serves Burkburnett residents in Wichita County. For someone who has never held a Texas license and wants to walk into the DPS already past the written test hurdle, this course handles it. The course also covers current Texas traffic laws and road signs, which is genuinely useful material if you have not studied Texas-specific rules before. The driving skills test is still required regardless.
