Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course right away. The course runs through text-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. No live video streams, no scheduled class times. Your progress saves automatically on the server after each section so nothing gets lost if you close out and come back later.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, alcohol and drug impairment, and safe driving practices. Section quizzes keep you sharp before you hit the final exam. Adults taking this course are not required to log any behind-the-wheel practice hours, so the coursework itself is what you focus on completing.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The 30-question final exam covers road signs and road rules. Score 70% or higher and you pass. Completing 6 hours of TDLR-approved instruction and passing that exam earns your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, so you bring it to the DPS office and go straight to the driving skills test.

Common Questions from Crockett County Applicants

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

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, specifically Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults who are 25 or older are not required to take the course, but many do because completing it and passing the built-in final exam lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test. If you are in Crockett County and fall into either group, enrolling through a TDLR-approved provider like TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is how you get started.

How does 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 Texas DPS requirements. When you pass the final at the required score, the course issues your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. You bring that certificate to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your license, and the office accepts it in place of the in-person written test. You do not sit down at a DPS kiosk and retake a written exam. The driving skills test is still required and happens separately at the DPS. For Crockett County residents, the nearest DPS office handling road tests is in Ozona, roughly 30 miles away on US-290.

How long does the course actually take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR-approved instruction to meet the state-mandated 6-hour requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so you can work through all of it in a single day if you want. You can also split it across multiple sessions and log back in whenever you have time. Progress saves automatically after each section, so nothing resets between logins. Most people in Crockett County find it practical to knock out a few sections in the evening and finish the rest the next day. The final exam comes at the end, and you need to pass it at 70% or higher to complete the course and receive your certificate.

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 when you finish the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires as proof that you completed state-approved adult driver education, as outlined under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Once you receive it digitally, you bring it with you when you visit the DPS Driver License Office to apply for your first Texas license. For Crockett County residents, that means the DPS office in Ozona, which sits about 30 miles from the Ozona town center along US-190. Present the ADE-1317 along with your other required documents, and the office processes your application without sending you to a written knowledge test station.

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 any 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 coursework only. 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 separate from this course, but the course itself does not ask you to document driving hours. Once you have your ADE-1317 certificate, you schedule your driving skills test at the Ozona DPS Driver License Office and handle that step in person.

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 applying for a first Texas license can either take the written test at the DPS office or complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and use the built-in final exam as a substitute. For someone in Crockett County, that means avoiding a trip to the Ozona DPS office just to sit through the written test before you can even schedule the driving skills test. Completing the course at home on your own schedule, passing the final, getting the ADE-1317 certificate, and then making one trip to the DPS for the driving skills test is a more efficient path. Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84 makes the course available to this group for exactly that reason.
