Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course immediately. The lessons are text and image based with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves server-side after each section, so closing the browser does not cost you anything. Pick up exactly where you stopped.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug content required under current TDLR guidelines. No live video streams to wait on. Adults are not required to log behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course, which is a real difference from the teen program.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

After completing 6 hours of approved instruction, you take the 30-question final exam. Score 70% or higher and you pass. The course final substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. Your ADE-1317 certificate generates digitally and you bring it to the DPS when you apply.

You Cannot Apply for a License Until This Is Done

For anyone between 18 and 24 in Kerr County, the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is a hard requirement before the DPS will process your license application. The Kerrville DPS Driver License Office is roughly 60 miles from some parts of the county. Finishing the course and passing the built-in written test means your next trip to that office is for the driving skills test only, not the written exam.

Questions About the Course in Kerr County

Who is required to take this course in Texas and who can take it by choice?

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 applying for a first Texas driver license 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, specifically Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. 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 entirely. For Kerr County residents in either group, finishing the course online means your trip to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office is for the driving skills test, not the written exam. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net to get started under current TDLR guidelines.

Does passing the course final exam really 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 tied to TDLR approved adult driver education programs. The exam covers road signs and road rules, split across both categories. Score at the required passing threshold and you do not retake the written test in person at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office. The in-person driving skills test is still required and happens at the DPS separately. Your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion is what you bring to the DPS to confirm you already cleared the written portion through the course. Review the road sign material carefully before sitting the final.

How long does the course take and can I finish it in one day?

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 on this course, so finishing in a single day is possible if your schedule allows. You can also split sessions across multiple days since progress saves server-side after each section. Logging out does not reset completed work. For Kerr County residents who want to get to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office for their driving skills test as soon as possible, knocking out the full course in one focused session is a real option. Log in at TrafficSchool.net and work at whatever pace fits your day.

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 after you pass the course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for your first Texas driver license, confirming you completed the state-mandated adult driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. TrafficSchool.net delivers it digitally once you pass. Bring it to the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office, which serves Kerr County residents, when you go in to apply and schedule your driving skills test. Without it, the DPS cannot process a first-time license application for anyone in the 18 to 24 age group. Keep a digital copy accessible on your phone as a backup.

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 completing the course. That requirement applies to the teen driver education program, not the adult course governed under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The 6 hours of required instruction in this course are classroom-equivalent, meaning the coursework itself satisfies the education component. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is separate from the course entirely. Kerr County residents will schedule that test at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office after receiving their ADE-1317 certificate. Focus on completing the course material and passing the final exam first.

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 tied to TDLR approved adult driver education, completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passing its final exam substitutes for the Class C written knowledge test at the DPS office. For someone 25 or older applying for a first Texas license, that means one fewer step at the Kerrville DPS Driver License Office, which serves Kerr County. The Kerrville office handles both license applications and driving skills tests, and walk-in wait times can run long. Arriving with your ADE-1317 certificate already in hand, written test already cleared through the course, makes the DPS visit faster and more direct. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net to take advantage of that option.
