Confirm your eligibility as a first-time Texas license applicant who is at least 18 years old. Your progress saves automatically after every section so you never lose your place.

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. Section quizzes check your understanding before you move forward. No live video streaming, no scheduled class times. Log in from Roberts County or anywhere else with an internet connection.

Pass the Final and Get Certified

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

You Cannot Apply for Your License Without This

For anyone 18 to 24 in Roberts County, the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is not optional. The DPS will not process your first license application without the ADE-1317 certificate. The sooner you finish the course and pass the final exam, the sooner you can book your driving skills test at the Pampa DPS Driver License Office, about 60 miles south of Miami on US-60. Every day you wait is a day you are not licensed.

The full Texas Adult Driver Education Course costs $38.00. No hidden fees, no upsells required to get your ADE-1317 certificate after passing the final exam.

Online Course

Built-In Written Test

In-Person Classroom

Classroom driver education in Roberts County is extremely limited. The nearest licensed school likely requires a significant drive out of Miami.

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the school's timetable, not yours, often across multiple evenings or weekends.

Travel Required

No classroom driver education school operates in Miami itself, meaning a round trip every session.

Same DPS Steps After

You still bring a certificate to DPS and still take the driving skills test regardless of format.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

The state mandates 6 hours of instruction. Here is how the two paths compare for a Miami resident.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Complete the full 6 hours in a single day or across multiple sessions with no daily cap and no commute from Miami.
In-Person Classroom Multiple trips toward Pampa or beyond, each session adding 60-plus miles of round-trip driving before you even have a license.

What You Are Actually Paying

The course fee is fixed. Factor in what the in-person alternative actually costs a Miami resident.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course One flat $38.00 covers the full Texas Adult Driver Education Course and your ADE-1317 certificate with no add-ons required.
In-Person Classroom Classroom tuition plus fuel costs for repeated 60-mile drives to Pampa and back add up fast before you reach the DPS office.

Finish the Course From Any Device

The course runs in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. Out in Roberts County where driving to a library or sitting at a desktop is not always convenient, being able to work through lessons on your phone matters.

  • Any Device

    Phone, tablet, or laptop all work. No app download required to access your lessons or final exam.

  • Auto-Saved Progress

    Server-side saving means closing your browser mid-section does not erase your work or restart completed lessons.

  • Log In Anytime

    No scheduled login windows. Return to the course whenever your schedule opens up and pick up exactly where you stopped.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, any first-time Texas driver license applicant between the ages of 18 and 24 must complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before applying for a Class C license. That requirement applies to Miami residents applying through the Pampa Texas DPS Driver License Office, roughly 60 miles south on US-60. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course under current TDLR guidelines, but they can enroll voluntarily. Completing the course lets anyone in that older group skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test. Your next step is confirming your age group and enrolling through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com.

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 split between road signs and road rules. Under current Texas DPS requirements, passing that exam at the required score substitutes for the Class C written knowledge test you would otherwise take in person at the DPS office. You do not retake a written test when you show up at the Pampa DPS Driver License Office. Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84 authorizes this substitution for approved adult driver education courses. The in-person driving skills test is still required and is separate from the course entirely. Once you pass the final exam, get your ADE-1317 certificate and schedule your road test at the Pampa DPS office.

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, so you can work through all the material in a single day or spread it across multiple sessions depending on your schedule. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out and returning later does not cost you any completed work. For someone in Miami with limited access to in-person options, being able to finish in one focused sitting is a real advantage. Start your enrollment at TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, and work at whatever pace fits your week.

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 under TDLR rules when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires from adult driver education course completers when they apply for a first license. Without it, the Pampa DPS Driver License Office cannot process your application if you are between 18 and 24. Adults 25 and older who took the course voluntarily bring the same certificate to skip the in-person written knowledge test. As of the latest TDLR guidelines, the certificate is issued digitally after you pass. Bring it with your other required documents when you go to the Pampa DPS office, located about 60 miles south of Miami on US-60.

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 course completion. 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. You complete the 6 hours of online instruction, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317 certificate without any supervised driving log attached to the course itself. The in-person driving skills test at the Pampa DPS Driver License Office is still required and is a separate DPS step, not part of this course. Practice your driving before that appointment, but no formal hour log goes to TDLR or DPS from this course.

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

The practical reason is simple: passing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam substitutes for the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. For a Roberts County resident, that means one fewer trip to the Pampa DPS Driver License Office, which sits about 60 miles south of Miami. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older who hold the ADE-1317 certificate skip the written test entirely when they apply. The course covers the same Texas road signs and traffic laws the DPS tests on anyway, so the time spent studying is not wasted. As of the latest TDLR guidelines, this option remains available to any eligible first-time applicant. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, to get started.
