Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. The lessons cover road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material. Progress saves automatically after each section, so closing the browser does not cost you any completed work. Pick up exactly where you left off.

Work Through the Course

Text and image based lessons walk you through the material Texas requires under Title 16, Chapter 84. Short quizzes between sections keep you sharp. No live video streams to sit through. Adults taking this course are not required to log behind-the-wheel practice hours, so the focus stays on the knowledge material.

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 better and you get your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test when you apply for your license.

Questions About the Course in Lamb County

Who is actually required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone between 18 and 24 applying for a first Texas driver license must 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 under current Texas DPS requirements, but completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. For Lamb County residents in either group, the practical next step is enrolling through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and starting the course material today.

Does passing the course final exam mean I skip the written test at the DPS office?

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 in Title 16, Chapter 84. Pass the final 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 DPS is a separate requirement and still happens at the office regardless of how you completed the written portion. For Lamb County residents, that driving skills test takes place at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, approximately 75 miles southeast on US-84.

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 on this course, meaning you can work through all the material in a single day if you have the time to sit down and do it. You can also split it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically to the server after each section, so logging out does not cost you completed work. For Lamb County residents trying to get their DPS appointment scheduled quickly, finishing in one focused session is a real option under current TDLR guidelines.

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 Texas driver education provider when you pass the course final exam. Under current Texas DPS requirements, this certificate is what the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office needs to confirm you completed the required adult driver education course. You bring it with you when you apply for your first Texas license. It also serves as documentation that your course final exam substituted for the in-person DPS written knowledge test, as governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. After passing the final on TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, you receive the ADE-1317 digitally and can print it or present it electronically at the DPS.

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 to adult enrollment under Section 84.503 of Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The adult course focuses entirely on the knowledge material covered in the lessons and the 30-question final exam. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and happens separately after you apply for your license. For Lamb County residents, that skills test is conducted at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office. Enroll in the course, finish the knowledge material, and then schedule your DPS driving skills 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 in 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 counter when applying for a first Texas license. For someone in Lamb County, that means one fewer reason to make the roughly 75-mile drive to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office unprepared. The course also covers the actual material the DPS tests on, so adults who have never formally studied Texas traffic law get real preparation. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, and work through the material before scheduling your DPS appointment.
