Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. Lessons are text and image based with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can close out and pick back up without losing ground. No classroom, no commute out of Crosby County.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and alcohol and drug impairment content. Each section builds on the last. The quizzes between sections are what prepare you for the final. Pay attention to the sign recognition material. That section caught me off guard the first time through.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take the 30-question final exam covering road signs and road rules. Hit 70% and you receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test when you apply for your license.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone between 18 and 24 applying for a first Texas driver license must 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. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course, but completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion on passing. If you are in Crosby County and need your first Texas license, check which group applies to you before you do anything else.

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 TDLR guidelines and Texas DPS requirements. Pass the final at the required score and you bring your ADE-1317 certificate to the DPS instead of sitting for a separate written test at the counter. The in-person driving skills test is still required and is completely separate. You schedule that at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, which is the nearest full-service DPS location for Crosbyton residents. The written test substitution only applies when you complete a TDLR approved course like this one.

How long does the course 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, so you can finish the entire course in one day if you have the time, or you can split it across multiple sessions. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you anything. When I went through it, I knocked out most of it in one afternoon and finished the rest the next morning before driving to the Lubbock DPS. Plan for the full 6 hours of actual course content plus time for the section quizzes and the final exam.

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 pass the course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires to confirm you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You bring it with you when you apply for your first Texas driver license. The Lubbock DPS Driver License Office is the nearest full-service location for Crosby County residents, sitting roughly 50 miles from Crosbyton. Have the certificate ready along with your other required documents. The DPS will not process a first-time license application for an 18 to 24 year old without 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 adult course covers the knowledge and rules side of driver education. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and tests your actual driving ability, but that is a DPS step, not a course requirement. Once you pass the course final exam and receive your ADE-1317 certificate, you schedule your driving skills test at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office and handle that step separately.

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 who complete a TDLR approved adult driver education course, like the Texas Adult Driver Education Course offered here, can present their ADE-1317 certificate at the DPS in place of sitting for the written test at the counter. For someone in Crosby County, that means one fewer reason to make the roughly 50-mile drive to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office. The course also covers Texas road signs and traffic laws thoroughly, which is useful if you have never held a Texas license before. Taking the course and passing the built-in exam gets you to the driving skills test step faster.
