Work Through the Course

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material through text and image based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. No live video streaming. Log in and out as needed. The material is the same content the DPS written test pulls from, so pay attention.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take a 30 question final exam covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or better and you receive your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test when you apply for your license.

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 an approved adult driver education course before the DPS will process their license application. That means if you are in that age range and living in Fanin County, this course is not optional for you. Adults 25 and older are not required to take it, but completing the course lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Both groups end up at the Paris DPS Driver License Office for the driving skills test regardless. Start the enrollment process at TrafficSchool.net to confirm your eligibility before your DPS appointment.

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. You take the exam inside the course, not at the DPS office. Pass at the required score and the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion you receive documents that substitution. When you show up at the Paris DPS Driver License Office, roughly 25 miles from Honey Grove, you bring that certificate and go straight to the driving skills test process. The in-person road skills test at the DPS is still required and is completely separate from this course. Get your certificate in hand before you schedule that DPS appointment.

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, so you can work through all of it in a single day or split it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves server-side after each section, so logging out does not cost you anything. Most people working steadily finish in one or two sittings. The final exam is included in that total. For Fanin County residents who want to get to the Paris DPS office as fast as possible, finishing in one focused session is entirely doable. Log in at TrafficSchool.net and start when you are ready.

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 adult driver education provider when you pass the course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires to confirm you completed state approved driver education, as outlined under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You receive it digitally through TrafficSchool.net after passing the final. Print it or have it accessible on your phone. When you visit the Paris DPS Driver License Office, about 25 miles from Honey Grove on US-82, you present the ADE-1317 as part of your license application. Without it, the DPS cannot process a first-time license for applicants ages 18 to 24. Bring it along with your other required documents on the day of your DPS 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 to the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. You complete the 6 hours of online instruction, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317 certificate. The only in-person driving requirement you face is the road skills test administered by the Texas DPS at the Paris Driver License Office, which is a separate step handled entirely by DPS staff. You schedule that appointment after you have your certificate in hand. Check current Texas DPS requirements for what to bring to your road skills test appointment in Paris.

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

The main reason is practical. Adults 25 and older who take the Texas Adult Driver Education Course can skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test when applying for their first Texas license. That means one fewer trip to the Paris DPS Driver License Office, which sits about 25 miles from Honey Grove. Under current TDLR guidelines and Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, completing the course satisfies the knowledge testing requirement through the built-in final exam. For someone who moved to Fanin County from another state and needs a Texas license, this is often faster than scheduling a separate written test appointment at the DPS. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net, finish the course, and show up in Paris ready for the driving skills test only.
