Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account with TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider. Confirm you meet eligibility under Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code, then begin the first lesson. No classroom. No commute up US-195 to Georgetown.

Work Through the Course

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug awareness through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so closing the browser does not cost you anything. Come back when you are ready and pick up exactly where you left off.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take a 30-question final exam covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or higher and your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion is issued. That certificate is what the Georgetown DPS Driver License Office needs when you apply for your license.

Questions About the Course in Jarrell

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

First-time Texas license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 are required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their application. This requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84, specifically Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course under current TDLR guidelines, but many choose to complete it anyway because passing the built-in final exam lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test entirely. If you live in Jarrell and fall into either group, enroll with TrafficSchool.net and get the process started.

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 established under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR approval of the course. You take the exam inside the course, not at the DPS office. Pass it at the required score and the DPS does not ask you to retake the written test in person. What remains after that is the driving skills test, which you do take in person at the Georgetown DPS Driver License Office, about 20 miles south of Jarrell on I-35. Your ADE-1317 certificate is what you bring to that 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 minimum 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 spread sessions across multiple days depending on your schedule. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not reset your work. Most people in Jarrell who sit down and focus can move through the material steadily without it dragging on. The final exam comes after you complete all required instruction, and you need to score 70% or higher to pass and receive your 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 by your TDLR approved provider, TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, after you pass the course final exam. It is the document that confirms you completed the Texas Adult Driver Education Course as required under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. You bring this certificate to the Georgetown DPS Driver License Office, located roughly 20 miles south of Jarrell in Williamson County, when you apply for your Texas Class C license. The DPS requires it as part of your application. The certificate is issued digitally once you pass, so you can access it without waiting for anything to arrive by mail.

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 teen driver education programs, not to the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84 and Section 84.503. As an adult applicant, your path is to complete the 6 hours of online instruction, pass the final exam, receive your ADE-1317 certificate, and then schedule your driving skills test at the Georgetown DPS Driver License Office in Williamson County. The driving skills test itself is still required in person at the DPS, but no supervised practice log is part of this course.

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 and TDLR guidelines tied to Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84, 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 written test at the DPS office. For someone in Jarrell who has never had a Texas license, that means one fewer step at the Georgetown DPS Driver License Office, about 20 miles down I-35. The course also covers Texas-specific road rules and signs thoroughly, which is genuinely useful if you have been driving in another state and need to get current on Texas law before your driving skills test.
