Travel Required

Classroom locations near Wilson County may require driving outside Floresville to attend sessions.

Method

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires first-time license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their license application. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, with adult enrollment specifically addressed in Section 84.503. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course under current TDLR guidelines, but many choose to enroll anyway because passing the built-in final exam lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test. If you are a Wilson County resident in either age group applying for your first Texas license, this is the course that gets you to the Floresville area DPS office ready to test.

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

Yes. The 30-question final exam built into this course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test under current Texas DPS requirements. Pass the final at the required score and you bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the DPS office instead of sitting for a separate written test there. That applies whether you are 18 to 24 and required to take the course, or 25 and older and taking it by choice. Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84 governs how this course satisfies the knowledge testing requirement. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and separate. Your next step after getting the certificate is scheduling that road test at the Floresville area DPS Driver License Office.

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 sit down and finish the entire course in one day if your schedule allows, or you can split it across several sessions over multiple days. Progress saves automatically to the server after each section, so logging out does not cost you anything. Most people working through it in Wilson County find the road signs section and the alcohol and drug material take the most focus. Plan for the full 6 hours of actual content time plus the final exam. Start your enrollment at TrafficSchool.net when you are ready to begin.

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 you pass the course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for a first-time driver license. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, completing an approved adult driver education course and receiving this certificate satisfies the education requirement for a Class C license application. Once you have your ADE-1317, take it to the Floresville area Texas DPS Driver License Office along with your other required documents. The nearest DPS office handling road tests for Floresville and Wilson County residents is approximately 30 miles away in San Antonio. Confirm current DPS document requirements at dps.texas.gov before your visit.

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 the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. As an adult applicant in Wilson County, your path is to complete the 6 hours of online instruction, pass the final exam at the required score, receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, and then go to the Floresville area DPS Driver License Office for the in-person driving skills test. The road test is still required and conducted by DPS. No practice hour log is submitted as part of this course enrollment or completion process.

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 TDLR guidelines and Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, adults 25 and older applying for a first Texas license can take the course by choice, pass the built-in 30-question final exam, and use the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion in place of the DPS written test. For someone in Floresville who has never held a Texas license, that means one fewer trip to the DPS office and one fewer test to prepare for separately. The Floresville area DPS office is roughly 30 miles out toward San Antonio, so cutting out the written test visit saves real time. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net, finish the course, and go straight to scheduling your driving skills test.
