Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR-approved Texas driver education provider. Crosby County residents enroll the same day they decide to start. No classroom scheduling, no drive to Lubbock just to sign a form.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material. Short quizzes follow each section. Your progress saves automatically server-side after every section, so closing the browser does not cost you anything you already finished.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

Complete 6 hours of state-mandated instruction, then take the 30-question final exam. Score 70% or higher and you receive the ADE-1317 certificate. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, so the Lubbock DPS office is your next stop for the driving skills test only.

In-Person Classroom Option

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the school's timetable, not your own, which adds scheduling friction.

Travel Required

No in-county classroom option exists in Crosby County, meaning a drive to Lubbock or beyond.

Same End Result

Classroom completion still produces an ADE-1317 certificate; the DPS driving skills test remains required either way.

How Long Does Each Path Take?

Both routes require the same six hours of instruction. The difference is when and where you put those hours in.

Questions About the Course in Crosby County

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires first-time license applicants between 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, 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 written knowledge test. Either way, the in-person driving skills test at the DPS remains required for everyone. Crosby County residents in both age groups can enroll at TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR-approved provider, and start today.

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 TDLR guidelines. Pass the final exam at the required score and you do not retake a written test when you show up at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, which is the nearest full-service office for Crosby County residents. You still complete the in-person driving skills test there. Bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the DPS when you apply. That certificate is what the office needs to confirm you finished the course.

How long does the course actually take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR-approved instruction, which is the state-mandated minimum 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 or log in and out across multiple sessions. Your progress saves server-side after each section. Crosby County residents who want to get to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office fast can knock the whole course out in one day. Others spread it across a few evenings. The course moves at whatever pace fits your schedule, with no enforced breaks or daily limits.

What is the ADE-1317 certificate and what do I do with it?

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. TDLR requires this certificate as proof that you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You bring it to the Texas DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your first license. For Crosby County residents, that means the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, located roughly 40 miles west on US-82. The certificate is digital, so you receive it after passing the final exam and can print it or save it to your device before making that drive to Lubbock.

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. That requirement applies to teen driver education programs, not to the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The adult course is instruction-based: complete the six hours of lessons, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317 certificate. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is separate from this course entirely. Crosby County residents will take that driving skills test at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office after presenting their ADE-1317 certificate and completing the application process.

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

The main reason is skipping the in-person written knowledge test at the DPS. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older who complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the built-in final exam do not have to take the written test at the office. For Crosby County residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office is in Lubbock, about 40 miles away. Making that trip once for the driving skills test is enough. Completing the course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR-approved provider, means you show up at the Lubbock DPS office with your ADE-1317 certificate in hand and go straight to the driving skills portion.
