You Cannot Apply for a Texas License Without This

Finish the course, pass the final, and get your ADE-1317 certificate in hand so your next stop is the DPS office for the driving skills test, not the waiting room for a written test.

Access From Anywhere

Log in from any device with a browser. Progress saves server-side after each section, so switching devices between sessions does not cost you any completed work.

Online Course

Complete the full 6-hour Texas Adult Driver Education Course on your own schedule, with no commute and no classroom seat to reserve in advance.

No Commute Required

Written Test Included

The built-in final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test entirely.

Certificate Delivered Digitally

In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom driver education requires scheduled sessions, travel to a provider location, and a separate DPS written knowledge test after completion.

Fixed Class Schedule

Classroom sessions run on the provider's timetable, not yours, which limits scheduling options.

Separate Written Test

Classroom completion alone does not substitute for the DPS written knowledge test in all cases.

Travel to Provider

No driver education classroom operates in Concho, requiring a trip out of Coke County.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap. Here is how the two paths compare for a Concho resident.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Complete the full 6 hours in one day or spread across multiple sessions, no daily cap enforced, no classroom travel required from Concho.
In-Person Classroom Classroom sessions are scheduled by the provider, require travel out of Coke County, and add commute time on top of seat time.

What Does It Cost to Get Licensed From Concho?

The online course price is fixed. Factor in what the in-person path actually costs a Concho resident before deciding.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course Flat $38.00 for the full Texas Adult Driver Education Course through TrafficSchool.net, no additional classroom or travel fees.
In-Person Classroom Provider tuition plus fuel and time for repeated trips out of Coke County to reach a classroom location adds up quickly.

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 is required 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 Texas. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course, but many choose to complete it because passing the built-in final exam substitutes for the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. If you are a Concho resident in either group, enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and get the process started.

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

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 the TDLR approved course framework established in Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Pass the final at the required score and you receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. Bring that certificate to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your license. You will still need to pass the in-person driving skills test at the DPS, but you will not sit for a separate written knowledge test. For Concho residents, the nearest DPS office handling road tests is roughly 60 miles away in San Angelo, so arriving prepared matters.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, as mandated under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, meaning you can finish the full 6 hours in a single day or spread sessions across multiple days depending on your schedule. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out between sessions does not cost you completed work. There are no enforced timers or mandatory breaks built into the course. For Concho residents who want to get to the San Angelo DPS office for their driving skills test as quickly as possible, finishing in one focused session is entirely doable. Start when you are ready and go at whatever pace works.

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 after a student passes the course final exam. Under current Texas DPS requirements, this certificate is one of the documents you bring to the DPS Driver License Office when applying for your first Texas license. It confirms you completed the state-required adult driver education course under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The certificate is issued digitally after you pass the final. For Concho residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office that handles road tests is in San Angelo, approximately 60 miles from Concho in Tom Green County. Bring your ADE-1317 along with your other required documents when you go.

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 6-hour adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered here as text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Once you pass the final exam and receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, you move directly to scheduling your in-person driving skills test at the DPS. For Concho residents, that means heading to the San Angelo DPS Driver License Office, about 60 miles away, to complete the road test portion.

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

The main reason is practical. Adults 25 and older who take the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the built-in final exam do not have to take the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test when they apply for their first Texas license. That is a meaningful time saver, especially for Concho residents who have to drive roughly 60 miles to the San Angelo DPS Driver License Office. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, as reflected in current TDLR guidelines, the course final exam substitutes for that in-person test. Showing up at the DPS with your ADE-1317 certificate already in hand means one fewer step on the day you go in for your driving skills test. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net when you are ready.
