Three Steps and You're Done

Create Your Account

Sign up and enroll in the Texas Adult Driver Education Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can pick up exactly where you left off without losing any completed work.

Work Through the Course

The course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons covering Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material. Short quizzes fall between sections to keep you sharp. No live video streams, no scheduled class times. Log in from Kingsland or anywhere else in Llano County and work through it on your own schedule.

Pass the Exam 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 higher and the course issues your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, so you skip that step entirely at the DPS office.

You Cannot Apply for Your License Without This

For anyone between 18 and 24 in Texas, the law is clear: the Texas Adult Driver Education Course must be finished before you can apply for a first-time driver license. Every day the course sits unfinished is another day you are not eligible to schedule your driving skills test at the Marble Falls DPS Driver License Office, roughly 10 miles from Kingsland. Finish the course, pass the exam, and get your certificate in hand so you can book that appointment and move forward.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone applying for a first-time Texas driver license between the ages of 18 and 24 is 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, specifically Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course but may choose to complete it. Completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. If you are in Llano County and working toward your first Texas license, start the course before you schedule anything at the Marble Falls 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 under current Texas DPS requirements. Pass the exam at the required score and you do not retake a written test when you show up at the Marble Falls DPS Driver License Office, which is the closest DPS location to Kingsland. The exam covers road signs and road rules, the same material the DPS written test covers. TDLR, which regulates this course under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, requires the final exam as part of course completion. Your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion confirms to the DPS that you passed. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction. There is no daily hour cap, so you can sit down and finish the full 6 hours in one session or split it across however many days works for you. Progress saves server-side after each section, so logging out does not cost you any completed work. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, the 6-hour minimum is a firm state requirement, but the pacing within that window is entirely up to you. Kingsland residents who want to get to the Marble Falls DPS office for their driving skills test as quickly as possible often find it practical to knock out the full course in a single day. Log in, work through the sections, pass the final exam, and get 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 when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires to confirm you completed a TDLR approved adult driver education course under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You bring it to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your first Texas Class C license. For Kingsland residents, that means the Marble Falls DPS Driver License Office, roughly 10 miles from town on TX-71. The certificate is issued digitally through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com. Print it or have it ready on your phone when you walk in. Without it, the DPS cannot complete your first-time license application if you are between 18 and 24.

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, Section 84.503. The 6-hour adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered here through text and image-based interactive lessons. What you do need to complete is the full 6 hours of course content and the 30-question final exam. After that, the DPS driving skills test is still required and is conducted in person at the Marble Falls DPS Driver License Office. That road test is a DPS step, separate from this course, and you schedule it directly with the DPS after you have your ADE-1317 certificate in hand.

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

The practical reason is skipping the in-person DPS written knowledge test. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older applying for a first-time Texas license can either take the written knowledge test at the DPS office or complete a TDLR approved adult driver education course like this one and skip it. For someone who has been driving in another state for years and just moved to Llano County or the Kingsland area, sitting through a DPS written test feels unnecessary when the course covers the same material and issues the ADE-1317 certificate that replaces it. Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84 makes the course optional for this group, but the tradeoff is real. Finish the course, get the certificate, and walk into the Marble Falls DPS office needing only the driving skills test.
