Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84, Section 84.503, any first-time Texas driver license applicant between the ages of 18 and 24 must complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their application. That requirement applies to Fisher residents in Runnels County the same as anywhere else in the state. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course, but completing it allows them to skip the in-person written knowledge test at the DPS. If you are in that 25-and-older group and want to avoid the written test at the Abilene DPS Driver License Office, enrolling in this course is the way to do it. Start your enrollment at TrafficSchool.net to confirm your eligibility.

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. The final covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. Passing it at the required score means you do not sit for a separate written test when you walk into the Abilene DPS Driver License Office. You still have to pass the in-person driving skills test at the DPS; that part does not change. But the written knowledge portion is done the moment you pass the course final. Bring your ADE-1317 certificate to the DPS when you go in for your license application.

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 6-hour requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, meaning you can work through the entire course in a single sitting or split it across as many sessions as you need. Progress saves automatically after each section, so you never lose ground between logins. For Fisher residents in Runnels County, that kind of schedule control matters when you are working around a job or other obligations. The final exam must be passed at 70% to complete the course and receive your ADE-1317 certificate. Log in at TrafficSchool.net whenever you are ready to start.

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 finish the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. It is the document the Texas DPS requires to confirm you completed adult driver education before issuing a first-time license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you bring this certificate to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your license. The nearest DPS Driver License Office for Fisher residents in Runnels County is in Abilene, roughly 50 miles from Fisher. Your ADE-1317 is issued digitally once you pass the course final exam. Print it or save it to your phone before you make that drive to Abilene. Do not show up 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. What you do need to complete is the full course instruction and the final exam. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step handled entirely by the Texas DPS, not by this course. Fisher residents should schedule that driving skills test at the Abilene DPS Driver License Office after they have their ADE-1317 certificate in hand. TrafficSchool.net handles the course side; the DPS handles the road test.

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 TDLR guidelines and Texas DPS requirements, an adult 25 or older who completes the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passes the built-in final exam does not have to take the written test at the DPS Driver License Office. For someone in Fisher who has to drive roughly 50 miles to the Abilene DPS, avoiding a trip just for the written test is a real time and fuel savings. The course also covers Texas-specific traffic laws and road signs that are worth knowing before you get behind the wheel for the driving skills test. Completing it through TrafficSchool.net, a TDLR approved provider, satisfies the requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84.
