Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course immediately. The course covers Texas traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving rules through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. No classroom. No commute out to the Burnet area DPS office just to sit in a waiting room.

Work Through the Material

Your progress saves automatically after each section on the server side, so closing the browser does not cost you anything. Log back in from any device and pick up exactly where you left off. The course has no daily study cap, so you set the pace based on your own schedule in Llano County.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

The 30-question final exam covers road signs and road rules. Pass at 70% and you complete the state-mandated 6 hours requirement. Your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion is issued digitally. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, so your next stop is the driving skills test, not a written exam.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone applying for a first-time Texas driver license between the ages of 18 and 24 is required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will issue a 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 under current TDLR guidelines, but many choose to take it anyway to avoid the in-person DPS written knowledge test. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. If you are in Llano County and in the 18 to 24 age range, this course is a required step before your DPS appointment.

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 guidelines tied to Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Pass the final at the required score and you do not retake the written test in person at the Burnet area DPS Driver License Office. The exam covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is a separate requirement and still happens at the office. Passing the course final only covers the written portion, not the behind-the-wheel evaluation.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction to meet the state-mandated 6-hour requirement. There is no daily hour cap, so you can finish the entire course in one sitting or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically to the server after each section, so logging out does not cost you any completed work. As of the latest TDLR guidelines under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, the 6-hour minimum must be completed before the final exam unlocks. For Burnet residents who want to get to their DPS driving skills appointment quickly, finishing in one focused session is entirely possible.

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 Texas Adult Driver Education Course. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for a first-time license. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, this certificate confirms you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement. Once you pass the final exam, TrafficSchool.net issues your ADE-1317 digitally. Bring it to the Burnet area DPS Driver License Office along with your other required documents when you apply. The Burnet area DPS office is located in Marble Falls, roughly 20 miles from downtown Burnet on US-281 South.

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. Under current TDLR guidelines, adult applicants complete the 6-hour course, pass the final exam, and receive the ADE-1317 certificate without any mandatory supervised driving log. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is separate from this course entirely. For Burnet residents, that skills test takes place at the Marble Falls DPS Driver License Office, about 20 miles south on US-281.

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

The main reason is practical. Adults 25 and older applying for a first-time Texas license are not required under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503 to complete the adult driver education course. But completing it means the course final exam substitutes for the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test, as recognized under current Texas DPS requirements. That eliminates one trip to the Marble Falls DPS Driver License Office, which serves Burnet and Llano County residents and sits about 20 miles south of Burnet on US-281. For someone who moved to Texas from another state and is converting a license, skipping the in-person written test is a real time saver worth the course fee.
