In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom driver education in Floyd County requires finding an available provider, fixed class dates, and a seat in a scheduled session.

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the provider's timetable, not your own, which can delay your start date.

Travel Required

Classroom options in rural Floyd County are limited, often requiring a drive to a neighboring city.

Same DPS Steps Follow

Regardless of format, the driving skills test at the DPS office is still required after course completion.

How Long Does Each Path Take?

Both paths require the same 6 hours of instruction. The difference is when and where you put those hours in.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate

What Does Each Option Cost?

Course cost is only part of the picture. Factor in travel from Floydada when comparing your real out-of-pocket total.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

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

Texas law requires the Texas Adult Driver Education Course for anyone ages 18 to 24 applying for their first Texas driver license. That requirement comes directly from Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84, which governs adult driver education enrollment under TDLR. 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 entirely. For Floyd County residents in either group, finishing this course before driving to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office means one fewer test to deal with when you get there. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, to get started under current TDLR guidelines.

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 substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test under current Texas DPS requirements. Once you pass the final at the required score, you receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate tells the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office that you already passed the written knowledge portion through a TDLR approved course under Title 16, Chapter 84. You do not retake the written test in person at the DPS. The driving skills test is a separate step and still happens at the DPS office. Bring your ADE-1317 certificate when you go to apply for your license in Lubbock.

How long does the course take, and can I finish it in one day?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction as mandated under Title 16, Chapter 84 of the Texas Administrative Code. There is no daily hour cap and no enforced break requirement, so finishing the full course in a single day is possible. You can also spread sessions across multiple days since progress saves automatically to the server after each completed section. For Floyd County residents with unpredictable schedules, that flexibility matters. Log in from wherever you have a connection, finish a section, and pick it back up later with nothing lost. The final exam becomes available once you complete all required course content. Start enrollment at TrafficSchool.net when your schedule opens up.

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. Under current Texas DPS requirements, this certificate is what you bring to the DPS Driver License Office when applying for your first Texas license. For Floyd County residents, that means the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, roughly 60 miles west of Floydada on US-62. The ADE-1317 documents that you completed the state-mandated Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passed the built-in written knowledge exam. The DPS accepts it in place of the in-person written test. Keep a digital copy accessible on your phone in case you need it quickly at the counter.

Do adults have to log behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course?

Adults taking the Texas Adult Driver Education Course are not required to log behind-the-wheel practice hours. That requirement applies to the teen driver education program, not the adult course governed by Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84. As an adult applicant in Floyd County, your path after completing the course goes straight to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office for the driving skills test, with no practice hour log to submit. The driving skills test itself is still required at the DPS regardless of age. Passing the course final exam at the required score and getting your ADE-1317 certificate is what clears the written knowledge requirement. The road test is the remaining step.

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

Adults 25 and older who skip this course still have to pass the DPS Class C written knowledge test in person at the Lubbock Driver License Office, which sits about 60 miles from Floydada. That is a full trip just to sit for a written test before you can even schedule the driving skills test. Completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, replaces that in-person written test entirely under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines tied to Title 16, Chapter 84. You make one trip to Lubbock for the driving skills test instead of two. For anyone in Floyd County who wants to cut down on unnecessary drives to Lubbock, this course makes that possible.
