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. Enrollment takes a few minutes and you can begin the first lesson immediately. No waiting for a class schedule or a seat in a Kerrville classroom.

Work Through the Course

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course covers Texas traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving rules 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. No live video streaming required.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take the 30-question final exam. Score 70% or higher and you receive your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, so you walk into the Kerrville DPS office ready for the driving skills test only.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires the Texas Adult Driver Education Course for any first-time license applicant between 18 and 24 years old. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, that age group cannot apply for a Texas driver license without completing the course first. 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 entirely. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion upon passing. If you are a Kimble County resident in either group, enroll with TrafficSchool.net and start the course before scheduling anything at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office.

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. The exam covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. Pass it at the required score and you bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the DPS instead of sitting for a separate written test at the counter. The in-person driving skills test at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office is still required and is a separate step. The course final replaces the written portion only. Study the road signs section carefully; that material shows up consistently.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, as mandated under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, meaning you can complete all 6 hours in a single day or split sessions across multiple days without penalty. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not reset your work. For most people in Kimble County, finishing in one or two sittings is realistic. The faster you complete the course and pass the final exam, the sooner you can schedule your driving skills test at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office, roughly 60 miles from Junction on US-27.

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 TDLR approved providers upon passing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for a first Texas driver license, as specified under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. TrafficSchool.net delivers it digitally after you pass. Print it or have it accessible on your phone when you walk into the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office. Without it, your license application cannot move forward. Bring it along with your other required documents, including proof of identity, Texas residency, and your Social Security number, when you make the drive from Junction to Kerrville.

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. 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 classroom instruction only, delivered through text and image based interactive lessons. Your obligation is to complete the required course hours and pass the final exam at the required score. The in-person driving skills test at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office is still a separate required step after you receive your ADE-1317 certificate, but no supervised driving log is required before you show up for that appointment.

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, adults 25 and older who complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the final exam receive an ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion that substitutes for the written test at the DPS counter. For someone in Kimble County, that means one trip to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office instead of two. The Kerrville office sits roughly 60 miles from Junction. Making that drive once for the road test only, rather than once for the written test and again for the road test, is a practical reason to enroll. The course also covers Texas traffic law thoroughly, which is useful if your driving knowledge has gaps.
