Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course immediately. The course runs on text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically server-side after each section, so you can log out and pick up exactly where you left off without losing anything.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and alcohol and drug impairment content required under current TDLR guidelines. Each section builds toward the final exam. There is no daily hour cap, so you set the pace based on your own schedule and availability throughout the week.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

The final exam is 30 multiple-choice questions covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or better and you complete the state-mandated 6 hours requirement. Your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion is issued immediately. That certificate replaces the DPS Class C written knowledge test when you apply for your license.

Travel to a Facility

Caddo Mills has no local driver education classroom; travel is required.

Same DPS Driving Test

The in-person driving skills test at DPS is still required regardless of method.

Longer Timeline

Scheduling around class availability adds days or weeks before you can apply.

Method

What You Actually Pay for Each Option

The driving skills test fee at the Greenville DPS office is the same either way. The difference is what you spend before you get there.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course The Texas Adult Driver Education Course through TrafficSchool.net costs $38.00 total, including your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion.

Questions From Caddo Mills Residents About This Course

Who is actually required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires first-time driver license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 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, Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment in the state. Adults who are 25 or older are not required to take the course, but many choose to complete it because passing the built-in final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. If you are a Hunt County resident in either age group applying for your first Texas license, this is the course that applies to your situation. Start your enrollment and confirm your eligibility before your first session.

Does passing the course final exam really replace the DPS written test?

Yes. The 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 the TDLR approved course framework established in Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The exam is 30 multiple-choice questions split between road signs and road rules. Pass it at the required score and you do not retake a written knowledge test in person at the Greenville DPS Driver License Office, which is the location that serves Caddo Mills residents. The in-person driving skills test at DPS is a separate requirement and is still required regardless of how you completed your driver education. Bring your ADE-1317 certificate when you go.

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

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, which is the state-mandated minimum for adult driver education under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap on this course, so you can complete all six hours in a single sitting if your schedule allows, or you can spread the work across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically to the server after each section, so logging out between sessions does not cost you any completed work. For Hunt County residents who want to get to the Greenville DPS Driver License Office as quickly as possible, finishing in one focused day is a real option. Log in and start when you are ready.

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 to you after you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when a first-time license applicant applies for a Class C driver license, as outlined under current Texas DPS requirements and the adult driver education rules in Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues the certificate digitally once you pass. You bring that certificate to the Greenville DPS Driver License Office, which handles license applications and driving skills tests for Caddo Mills and Hunt County residents, located approximately 15 miles from Caddo Mills. Do not show up at DPS without it; the application process requires 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 six-hour adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered here through text and image-based interactive lessons. What you do need to complete separately is the in-person driving skills test at the DPS, which is a state requirement regardless of how you completed your driver education. The Greenville DPS Driver License Office, about 15 miles from Caddo Mills, is where Hunt County residents take that driving skills test. Finish the course, get your ADE-1317, then schedule your road test.

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

Adults 25 and older who want their first Texas driver license can skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test by completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passing the built-in final exam. Under current Texas DPS requirements and the adult enrollment provisions of Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, the course final exam substitutes for that written test. For someone in Hunt County who has never held a Texas license, that means one fewer step to handle at the Greenville DPS Driver License Office. The driving skills test is still required in person, but showing up with your ADE-1317 certificate already in hand cuts down the time you spend at the office. Enroll, finish the six hours, and go straight to scheduling your road test.
