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 eligibility under Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code. First-time applicants 18 and older qualify. Your progress saves automatically after every section so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Work Through the Course

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course uses text and image based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. No live video streaming, no scheduled sessions. Cover road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material at whatever pace fits your day. Loving County has no in-person classroom option nearby, which makes this format the practical choice for most residents.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take the 30-question final exam covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or higher 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 Pecos DPS office for the driving skills test only.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Anyone applying for their first 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 under current TDLR guidelines, but many choose to take it anyway because passing the course final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. For Loving County residents, confirming eligibility before enrolling with TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is the right first step.

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. Under current Texas DPS requirements, passing this exam at the required score means you do not retake the written knowledge test in person at the DPS Driver License Office. The exam covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. Once you pass, you receive the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, which you bring to the Pecos DPS Driver License Office. At that point, the only remaining DPS step is the driving skills test. TDLR regulates this substitution under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 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 6-hour minimum under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so you can complete the full course in a single day or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. Progress saves automatically on the server side after each section, so logging out between sessions does not cost you any completed work. For Loving County residents who have limited access to in-person classrooms, this format means the only required travel is the trip to the Pecos DPS Driver License Office after you finish and pass the final exam.

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 a student passes the course final exam. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues this certificate digitally once you hit the required passing score. You bring the ADE-1317 to the Texas DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your first Texas license. For Loving County residents, that means the Pecos DPS Driver License Office, roughly 100 miles away. The certificate satisfies the driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, and confirms to DPS that you have already passed the written knowledge component. Keep a digital copy accessible before you make that drive.

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 the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Under current TDLR guidelines, adult applicants complete the 6 hours of approved course instruction, pass the final exam, and receive the ADE-1317 certificate. The in-person driving skills test at the Pecos DPS Driver License Office is still required and is separate from this course, but no supervised practice hour log needs to be submitted. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, and confirm your eligibility under Section 84.503 before starting.

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

Adults 25 and older are not required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The reason many take it anyway is practical: passing the course final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, which means one fewer step at the DPS Driver License Office. For Loving County residents, the Pecos DPS office is roughly 100 miles away. Skipping the in-person written test by passing the course exam saves time and reduces the chance of having to make a second trip. The course also covers Texas road signs and traffic laws thoroughly, which is useful for anyone who has not studied that material recently before applying for a first Texas license.
