Work Through the Course

The course uses text-based lessons and images with quizzes between sections. No live video streaming, no scheduled sessions. You log in when you have time, whether that is after a shift or on a Saturday morning off I-35 near Laredo. Section quizzes keep you sharp before the final.

Pass the Final, Get Your Certificate

The 30-question final exam covers road signs and road rules. Hit 70% and you complete the state-mandated 6 hours requirement. Your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion comes through immediately. Bring it to the Laredo DPS Driver License Office and skip the written knowledge test at the counter.

You Cannot Apply for Your License Without This

Under current Texas DPS requirements, first-time applicants between 18 and 24 must finish the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their license application. Every day the course sits unfinished is another day you are not booking your driving skills test at the Laredo DPS office. Adults 25 and older who want to skip the in-person written test need this certificate too. Start now and get to the road test sooner.

Questions From Las Quintas Fronterizas Colonia Residents Getting Their First License

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

Texas law requires first-time license applicants between 18 and 24 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 governing adult enrollment. 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. For Webb County residents in either group, finishing the course means walking into the Laredo DPS Driver License Office with the ADE-1317 certificate already in hand. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, to get started today.

Does passing the course final exam really replace the DPS written knowledge test?

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. Passing the final at the required score of 70% means you do not sit down for a separate written test at the Laredo DPS Driver License Office when you apply. This substitution is tied to TDLR approval under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. The in-person driving skills test at DPS is a separate requirement and still happens at the office regardless of how you completed the course. Bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the Laredo DPS office when you go to apply.

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

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course meets the state-mandated 6 hours requirement set under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, so finishing it in a single day is possible if you have the time available. Spreading it across multiple sessions works just as well since progress saves automatically after each section. For Las Quintas Fronterizas Colonia residents juggling work or family schedules, that flexibility matters. Log in when you have time, finish a section, and come back later without losing anything. The only hard requirement is completing all course material and passing the final exam before the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion gets issued.

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 the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requires a TDLR approved provider to issue when an adult finishes the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84, this certificate is what the DPS needs to verify you completed the required adult driver education. After passing the course final exam, you receive the ADE-1317 digitally through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com. Bring it with you when you visit the Laredo DPS Driver License Office, which serves Webb County residents including those from Las Quintas Fronterizas Colonia. The DPS office is approximately 5 to 10 minutes from the colonia depending on your exact starting point.

Do adults have to log behind-the-wheel practice hours to complete 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 the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84 and Section 84.503. The adult course covers the knowledge side: traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving rules. The in-person driving skills test at the Laredo DPS Driver License Office is still a separate required step for all first-time applicants in Webb County, but the course itself does not mandate a set number of practice driving hours before you can finish. Complete the lessons, pass the final, and get your ADE-1317 certificate.

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 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 counter when they apply for their first Texas license. For someone who moved to Webb County from another state and never held a Texas license, that is a real time saver at the Laredo DPS Driver License Office. As of the latest TDLR guidelines under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84, the course completion substitutes for that test. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, finish the course, and walk into the DPS office with one less step ahead of you.
