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 closing the browser does not cost you anything. Pick up exactly where you left off next time you log in.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug awareness rules required under Title 16 Chapter 84. No daily cap means you can push through the full six hours in one day or split it across sessions. The road signs section and the traffic law material are both on the final exam, so pay attention to both.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

The final exam is 30 multiple-choice questions covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or higher and you complete the 6 hours state-mandated course. Your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion is issued digitally. Take that certificate to the DPS Driver License Office and you walk in without needing to sit for the written knowledge test there.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone applying for their first Texas driver license between the ages of 18 and 24 is required 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 governing adult 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. If you live in Live Oak County and are in either group, the process starts the same way: enroll, finish the six hours, pass the final exam, and get your ADE-1317 certificate before heading to the DPS office.

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 tied to TDLR approved course completion. Pass the final at the required score and you do not retake that written test in person at the DPS Driver License Office. What you still have to do in person is the driving skills test. The George West area DPS office handles licensing for Live Oak County residents, and you will schedule your road test there after submitting your ADE-1317 certificate and completing your license application. The written portion is already done.

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, which is the state-mandated minimum under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap on this course, so finishing all six hours in a single day is possible if your schedule allows it. You can also split the work across multiple sessions. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you any completed material. For Live Oak County residents who want to get to the DPS office as soon as possible, pushing through the course in one or two focused sessions is a real option. Start when you are ready and go at whatever pace your day allows.

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

The ADE-1317 is the Certificate of Completion issued by a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider when you pass the course final exam. It is the official document that confirms you completed the state-required adult driver education 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. The George West area DPS office serving Live Oak County residents is located in Three Rivers, roughly 25 miles from George West. Bring your ADE-1317 along with your other required documents when you go. Without it, the DPS cannot process a first-time license application for anyone in the 18 to 24 age group.

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 and Section 84.503. What adults do still have to complete is the in-person driving skills test at the DPS Driver License Office. That test is a separate DPS requirement and is not part of this course. For Live Oak County residents, the driving skills test is administered at the Three Rivers DPS Driver License Office. Finish the course, get your ADE-1317 certificate, then schedule your road test as the next step toward your license.

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 aligned with TDLR guidelines and Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84, adults 25 and older who complete a TDLR approved adult driver education course and pass the built-in final exam do not have to sit for the written test at the DPS office. For someone in Live Oak County, that means one fewer reason to make the drive to the Three Rivers DPS Driver License Office, which sits about 25 miles from George West. The course also covers Texas-specific traffic laws and road signs that are genuinely useful if you have been driving on an out-of-state license or have not reviewed Texas rules in a long time. The ADE-1317 certificate handles the written test requirement when you apply.
