Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and start the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. The 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.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug rules in depth. No live video streams to sit through. Read, answer the section quizzes, and move forward. Adults taking this course are not required to log any behind-the-wheel practice hours under current TDLR guidelines.

Pass the Final 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 get your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test at the Jacksboro office.

You Cannot Apply for Your License Without This

Online Course

Complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course from Jack County without driving to a classroom. Work through the material on your own schedule with no daily hour cap.

No Classroom Drive

Jack is a small community. Driving to a licensed classroom adds time and cost before you even start.

Written Test Waived

Passing the course final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test at the Jacksboro office.

Progress Auto-Saved

Server-side saving means a lost connection or closed browser does not reset your completed sections.

In-Person Classroom

A licensed in-person driver education classroom requires you to travel outside Jack County and commit to scheduled class times that may not fit your week.

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the provider's timetable, not yours, which can stretch the process across multiple days.

Travel Required

No licensed adult driver education classroom operates inside Jack. You are looking at a drive each session.

Same DPS Driving Test

The in-person driving skills test at the Jacksboro DPS office is still required regardless of how you took the course.

How Long Does Getting Licensed Actually Take?

The course itself is 6 hours. Here is how the two paths compare for a Jack County resident working toward a first Texas license.

What You Actually Spend to Get Licensed from Jack

The course fee is only part of the picture. Factor in what the in-person route costs a Jack County resident in time and fuel.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Adults ages 18 to 24 applying for a first Texas driver license are 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, with Section 84.503 governing adult enrollment specifically. 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, which is a real time saver. If you live in Jack County and fall into either group, the Jacksboro DPS Driver License Office is where you will eventually apply. Start the course now so that trip is not held up by a missing certificate.

Does passing the course final exam really replace the DPS written test?

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. You take the exam inside the course, not at the Jacksboro DPS office. Pass it at the required score and the DPS does not ask you to sit through the written test in person. This applies to both the required 18 to 24 group and the 25 and older adults who take the course by choice. The in-person driving skills test at the Jacksboro DPS office is a separate step and still required for everyone. Passing the course final gets you past the written portion, not the road test.

How long does it take to finish the 6-hour course?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, as mandated 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 if you have the time, or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you any completed work. For Jack County residents, finishing faster means getting to the Jacksboro DPS office sooner. Some people knock it out in one weekend afternoon. Others spread it across a few evenings after work. Either approach gets you to the same certificate at the end.

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 the Texas DPS requires as proof that you completed the state mandated adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. You bring it to the Jacksboro DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your first Texas license. The certificate is issued digitally after you pass the final at the required score. Print it or have it accessible on your phone when you walk into the Jacksboro office. Without it, the DPS cannot process your first-time license application if you are 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. The adult course is the 6 hours of classroom instruction, the section quizzes, and the final exam. Once you pass the final and receive your ADE-1317 certificate, the course side is done. The in-person driving skills test at the Jacksboro DPS Driver License Office is still required and is handled separately by the DPS, not through this course. Schedule that test after you have your certificate in hand.

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 built-in final exam do not have to take the Class C written knowledge test at the Jacksboro DPS Driver License Office. For someone getting a first Texas license later in life, that removes one step from an already multi-step process. Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code makes the course optional for this age group, but the practical benefit is real. Finish the course, get the ADE-1317 certificate, and walk into the Jacksboro office needing only to pass the driving skills test to get licensed.
