You cannot skip it or substitute something else for it.

Built on the Rules Texas Actually Requires

Texas Adult Driver Education Course Online

Complete the TDLR approved 6-hour course on your own schedule, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317 certificate without driving to a classroom first.

No Classroom Commute

Skip the 100-mile round trip to Abilene just to sit in a driver ed room.

Progress Auto-Saved

Server-side saving means a lost connection never costs you completed sections.

Written Test Covered

Pass the course final and the DPS written knowledge test requirement is already handled.

In-Person Classroom Option

Traditional classroom driver education still exists in Texas, but no licensed provider currently operates a classroom course in Haskell County itself.

Travel Required

Haskell County residents would need to travel outside the county to find a classroom course.

Fixed Schedule

Classroom sessions run on the provider's timetable, not yours.

Same End Result

Classroom completion also produces an ADE-1317 certificate for the DPS application.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

The state mandates 6 hours of instruction. Here is how the two paths compare for a Haskell County resident.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Six hours of instruction completed on your schedule, no travel time added, no waiting for a class to fill.
In-Person Classroom Six hours of instruction plus travel time outside Haskell County, plus fitting your schedule to a provider's posted class dates.

What You Pay and What You Get

Both paths produce the same ADE-1317 certificate. The difference is what surrounds that certificate.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course $38.00 covers full course access, all quizzes, the final exam, and your ADE-1317 certificate with no add-on charges.
In-Person Classroom Classroom provider fees vary and do not include the fuel cost for driving out of Haskell County to attend.

Pick Up Where You Left Off

The course runs in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. Haskell County does not have a lot of options for sitting in a library computer lab for six straight hours, so being able to split sessions across devices and days matters. Log in from wherever you are and the course resumes at your last completed section.

  • Any Device

    Phone, tablet, or desktop all work. No app download required to access the full course.

  • Saved Progress

    Every completed section saves to the server automatically so nothing gets lost between sessions.

  • Pick Your Pace

    No daily hour cap means you can finish in one day or return across several sessions at your own timing.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

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

Anyone between 18 and 24 applying for a first Texas driver license must complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before DPS will process the 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, but completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. For Haskell County residents in either group, finishing the course online means arriving at the Abilene DPS Driver License Office with the certificate already in hand and the written test already behind you. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, to get started.

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

Yes. 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. Pass the final at the required score and you do not retake the written test in person at the Abilene DPS Driver License Office. This applies to both the 18 to 24 group required to take the course and adults 25 and older who take it by choice. Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84 establishes the framework that allows this substitution. The in-person driving skills test at DPS is a completely separate requirement and still happens at the office. Your ADE-1317 certificate is what you bring to that appointment.

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 in a single day is possible if you have the time to sit with it. You can also split it across multiple sessions since progress saves automatically after each section. For Haskell County residents juggling work or other obligations, that flexibility matters. Log back in from any device and the course picks up exactly where you stopped. The final exam must be passed at 70% to complete the course and receive your ADE-1317 certificate.

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 when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. It is the document that proves to the Texas DPS that you have met the driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84. You bring it to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your license. For Haskell County residents, the nearest full-service DPS Driver License Office is in Abilene, roughly 100 miles south on US-277. Your ADE-1317 comes to you digitally through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, after you pass the final. Print it or have it ready on your phone when you walk in for your appointment.

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 behind-the-wheel hour requirement applies to the teen driver education program, not to adult applicants covered under Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The 6-hour course is classroom instruction only, delivered through text and image based lessons with quizzes between sections. What you do need to complete separately is the in-person driving skills test at the DPS, which is a practical road test conducted by a DPS examiner at the Abilene Driver License Office. The course prepares you for the knowledge side. The road test evaluates your actual driving.

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 the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the final exam do not have to take the written test at the DPS office. For a Haskell County resident, that means one fewer reason to make the roughly 100-mile drive to the Abilene DPS Driver License Office before you are ready for the driving skills test. Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84 and Section 84.503 govern this option. The course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, costs a flat $38.00 and produces the ADE-1317 certificate DPS needs. For many adults, that trade is worth it.
