Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and get into the course material right away. The lessons are text and image based with quizzes between sections. No live video streams, no scheduled class times. Morton has no local driver education classroom for adults, so this is the practical path.

Work Through the Course

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material required under current TDLR guidelines. Progress saves automatically after each section on the server side, so closing the browser mid-lesson does not cost you anything. Pick up exactly where you left off.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

The final exam is 30 multiple-choice questions covering road signs and road rules. Hit 70% and you complete the state-mandated 6 hours requirement. Your digital ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion comes to you immediately. Bring it to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office when you apply.

Access From Anywhere

Log in from any device with a browser. Morton is a long way from a driver education classroom, so finishing this from home is the realistic option for most Cochran County residents.

Flat Course Price

The course costs $38.00. That covers the full 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction and your ADE-1317 certificate once you pass the final exam.

Online Course

No Classroom Commute

Morton has no adult driver education classroom. This course removes that problem entirely.

Exam Built In

Pass the course final and you skip the DPS written knowledge test at the Lubbock office.

Instant Certificate

Your digital ADE-1317 arrives as soon as you pass. No waiting on mail from an instructor.

In-Person Classroom

No adult driver education classroom operates in Morton or Cochran County. The nearest option requires a significant drive, and the DPS written test still waits at the end.

No Local Option

Cochran County has no adult driver education classroom. Travel is unavoidable with this route.

Fixed Schedule

Classroom courses run on the provider's timetable, not yours. Missing a session costs you time.

Separate DPS Written Test

Without the course final exam substitution, you still sit the written test at DPS in Lubbock.

How Long This Actually Takes

The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap. Here is how the two paths compare for a Morton resident.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Finish the state-mandated 6 hours on your own schedule, no drive required, certificate ready the day you pass.
DPS Written Test Only Drive roughly 90 miles to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, wait in line, and sit the written test in person.

What You Actually Spend

Factor in the drive from Morton to Lubbock and back when you compare these two paths.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course Pay $38.00 for the full Texas Adult Driver Education Course and your ADE-1317 certificate. No fuel, no round trip.
In-Person DPS Written Test No course fee, but the 180-mile round trip from Morton to Lubbock DPS adds real fuel cost and a full day.

Pick Up Where You Left Off

The course saves your progress server-side after every section. Log in from a phone in Morton, switch to a laptop later, and the course remembers exactly where you stopped. No daily hour cap means you set the pace, not the platform.

    Phone, tablet, or desktop all work. No app download required to access your course from Cochran County.

  • Auto-Saved Progress

    Close the browser mid-section and your place holds. Server-side saving means nothing gets lost between sessions.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 applying for their first Texas driver license to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before DPS will process the application. That requirement comes from Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84, which governs adult driver education enrollment under TDLR. Adults 25 and older are not required to take the course, but completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. For Morton residents in Cochran County, that means skipping a separate trip to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office just for the written test. Enroll, finish the course, and bring your ADE-1317 certificate when you go.

Does passing the course final exam mean I skip the DPS written 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. Pass the final at the required score and you do not sit a separate written test at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office. This substitution is tied to the course approval under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The driving skills test at DPS is still required and still happens in person. The course handles the written knowledge portion only. Once you pass the final and receive your ADE-1317 certificate, your next DPS visit is for the road test, not paperwork and a written exam.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course covers 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, which satisfies the state-mandated 6-hour requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, so finishing it in one day is possible. Spreading it across several sessions works just as well because progress saves automatically on the server after each section. Morton has no local adult driver education classroom, so working through the course on your own schedule from Cochran County is the practical approach. Log in, work through the material, and log out whenever you need to. The course holds your place every time.

What is the ADE-1317 certificate and what do I do with it at DPS?

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. TDLR requires this specific certificate format under the adult driver education rules in Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You bring it to the DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your first Texas license. For Morton residents, that office is the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, roughly 90 miles away on US-84. The certificate documents that you completed the state-required course and passed the built-in written knowledge exam. Without it, DPS cannot process a first-time license application for anyone in the 18 to 24 age group. Keep a digital copy accessible.

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 the adult course governed by Section 84.503 of the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84. The adult course covers the knowledge portion of driver education through lessons, quizzes, and the 30-question final exam. The driving skills test at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office is still required and handled separately by DPS, not through this course. You schedule that test directly with DPS after you have your ADE-1317 certificate in hand. No instructor sign-off on driving hours is needed before you go.

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 current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older applying for a first Texas license can either sit the written test at the DPS office or complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and use the course final exam as the substitute, as permitted under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. For someone in Morton, the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office is about 90 miles away on US-84. Making that drive twice, once for the written test and once for the road test, adds real time and cost. Finishing the course means the Lubbock trip is for the driving skills test only. That trade-off is worth it for most people.
