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. Confirm you meet the eligibility requirement as a first-time Texas license applicant who is at least 18 years old, then begin the first lesson immediately.

Work Through the Course

Move through text and image based interactive lessons covering Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug rules. Section quizzes check your understanding as you go. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take the 30-question final exam. Score 70% or better and you receive your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, so your next stop is the driving skills test.

Every Day Waiting Is a Day Without Your License

For anyone between 18 and 24 in Lamb County, Texas law requires this course before you can apply for a first license. That means the DPS office in Lubbock, roughly 35 miles from Littlefield on US-84, cannot process your application until this course is done. Finish the course, clear the written test requirement, and get yourself scheduled for the driving skills test. The road does not wait.

In-Person Classroom Option

Traditional classroom driver education still exists in Texas but finding an approved adult course near Lamb County takes real effort and scheduling coordination.

Limited Local Availability

Approved adult classroom courses near Littlefield are scarce; most require travel outside Lamb County.

What You Actually Spend on Each Option

The price difference goes beyond the course fee when you factor in travel from Littlefield.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

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

Texas law requires the Texas Adult Driver Education Course for any first-time license applicant between the ages of 18 and 24. That requirement comes from the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84, with adult enrollment specifically governed by Section 84.503. Adults 25 and older are not required to complete the course, but many take it anyway because passing the built-in final exam substitutes for the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. For Lamb County residents, that means one fewer trip to the Lubbock DPS office on US-84. Check current Texas DPS requirements to confirm your eligibility before enrolling at TrafficSchool.net.

How does the course final exam replace the DPS written knowledge test?

The 30-question final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is structured to meet the same standard as the DPS Class C written knowledge test, per current TDLR guidelines under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Pass the exam at the required score of 70% and you receive the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate signals to the Texas DPS that you have already cleared the written knowledge requirement. You do not retake a written test at the DPS office in Lubbock. The driving skills test is still required and must be completed in person. Bring your ADE-1317 when you go to schedule that test.

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 6-hour minimum under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, so finishing in a single day is possible if your schedule allows. Progress saves automatically server-side after each section, meaning you can split the work across multiple days without losing anything. There is no enforced timer between sections and no mandatory break built into the course. For Lamb County residents who work during the week, spreading the course across a few evenings before heading to the Lubbock DPS office is a practical approach.

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 after you pass the course final exam. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, this certificate documents that you completed the required adult driver education course. The Texas DPS requires it when you apply for your first Class C driver license. Once you pass the final exam at TrafficSchool.net, you receive the digital ADE-1317. Bring that certificate to the Texas DPS Driver License Office in Lubbock, located approximately 35 miles from Littlefield on US-84, when you go to apply for your license and schedule your driving skills test.

Do adults have to log behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course?

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, Section 84.503. The 6-hour adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered through text and image based interactive lessons and quizzes. Once you complete the course hours and pass the final exam, the ADE-1317 certificate is what you bring to the DPS. The in-person driving skills test at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office is still required and separate from this course. No practice hour log is submitted.

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

The main reason adults 25 and older take the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is to avoid the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines tied to Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, passing the course final exam substitutes for that test. For someone in Littlefield, the nearest DPS Driver License Office is in Lubbock, roughly 35 miles away on US-84. Skipping one trip to that office has real value. Beyond the logistics, the course covers current Texas road signs and traffic laws in a way that genuinely prepares you for the driving skills test. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net and get the ADE-1317 certificate before your DPS appointment.
