Questions About the Course Before You Start

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas requires the adult driver education course for anyone between 18 and 24 applying for their first Texas driver license. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, this age group must complete the course before the DPS will process a first-time license application. Adults 25 and older are not required to take it, but completing the course lets them skip the in-person written knowledge test at the DPS Driver License Office. For Hunt residents in Kerr County, that means fewer trips to the Kerrville DPS location on Sidney Baker Street. Start your enrollment at TrafficSchool.net to confirm your eligibility under current TDLR guidelines.

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

Yes. The 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. The exam is 30 multiple-choice questions split between road signs and road rules. Pass it at the required score and you do not retake a written test at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office when you apply. You still complete the in-person driving skills test at the DPS, which is a separate requirement. Your ADE-1317 certificate documents your written test completion. Bring it with your other application materials when you head to the Kerrville office.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so you can complete the full course in a single day or log in across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically after each section, so closing the browser does not reset your work. For someone in Hunt, that means you can work through sections between other obligations without losing ground. The self-paced format does not mean the hours are shortened. You complete the full state-mandated requirement before the final exam unlocks. Log in at TrafficSchool.net and check your dashboard to track exactly where you stand.

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

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. TDLR requires this certificate as proof you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The DPS Driver License Office will not process a first-time license application for an 18 to 24 year old without it. Adults 25 and older bring it to document that they completed the course in lieu of the in-person written knowledge test. For Hunt residents, that means bringing the ADE-1317 to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office, roughly 12 miles from Hunt on TX-39. TrafficSchool.net issues the certificate digitally once you pass the final exam.

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. The adult course is the classroom instruction component only. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and handled separately at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office. That test is between you and the DPS examiner, not tied to any practice hour log from this course. Finish the online course, get your ADE-1317, and schedule your skills test at the Kerrville office when you are ready.

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

The main reason is skipping the in-person written knowledge test at the DPS. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older applying for their first Texas license can substitute the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. That removes one step from the Kerrville DPS visit, which sits about 12 miles from Hunt. For someone who moved to Kerr County from another state and is converting to a Texas license for the first time, that trade makes practical sense. The course also covers Texas-specific traffic laws and road signs that differ from other states. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and confirm your eligibility before starting.
