Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

You Cannot Apply for Your License Until This Is Done

Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84 Section 84.503, applicants ages 18 to 24 must complete the adult driver education course before the DPS will issue a first Texas license. Every day you wait is another day you are not licensed. Finish the course, get your ADE-1317 certificate, and get yourself to the Atlanta, Texas DPS Driver License Office for the driving skills test. That is the last step between you and your license.

In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom driver education requires scheduled sessions at a fixed location, which adds travel time for Morris residents in Cass County.

Fixed Class Schedule

Classroom sessions run on the provider's timetable, not yours, requiring you to plan around their hours.

Travel Required

Morris residents would need to drive to a provider location outside Cass County for each session.

Same Certificate Outcome

Classroom completion also produces an ADE-1317 certificate, but the process takes longer to coordinate.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

Questions Morris Residents Ask Before Enrolling

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84 Section 84.503 sets the rule. First-time Texas license applicants between ages 18 and 24 must complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before the DPS will process their license application. Adults 25 and older are not required to take it, but many do because passing the built-in final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, letting them skip that step at the Atlanta, Texas DPS Driver License Office. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and confirm your eligibility when you create your account.

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

Yes. The 30-question final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, per current Texas DPS requirements. Pass the final at 70% and you do not retake a written test in person at the Atlanta, Texas DPS Driver License Office. You still have to pass the driving skills test there in person. That road test is a separate DPS requirement and is not part of this course. Bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the DPS when you apply, and the written test requirement is already satisfied. The driving skills test is the remaining step.

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 finish the full course in one day or spread sessions across as many days as you need. Progress saves automatically after each section on the server side, so logging out does not cost you completed work. Morris residents in Cass County have used both approaches. Some knock it out in a single afternoon. Others split it across a few evenings. Either way, the ADE-1317 certificate comes after you pass the final exam, not after a set number of calendar days.

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 for the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when a first-time adult license applicant shows up to apply. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you present the ADE-1317 along with your other application documents at the DPS Driver License Office. For Morris residents in Cass County, that office is in Atlanta, Texas, roughly 10 miles away. You receive the certificate digitally after passing the course final exam at the required score. Print it or have it ready on your phone. The DPS needs to see it before they process your license application.

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, which operates under different rules within Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84. The adult course covers classroom instruction only, delivered through text and image-based lessons with quizzes and a final exam. Once you pass the final at the required score and receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, the course portion is done. The driving skills test at the Atlanta, Texas DPS Driver License Office is still required, but that is a separate DPS step, not a logged-hours requirement tied to this course.

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 Texas Administrative Code Title 16 Chapter 84 Section 84.503, adults 25 and older are not required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course, but completing it and passing the built-in final exam substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. For someone getting a first Texas license later in life, that means one fewer step at the Atlanta, Texas DPS Driver License Office, which serves Morris residents in Cass County. The course also covers current Texas traffic law in a structured way, which is useful for anyone who has not studied road rules recently. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, a TDLR approved provider, and work through it on your own schedule.
