Pass the Exam and Get Certified

Questions Oak Point Residents Ask Before Enrolling

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 years old to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before applying for a first Texas driver license. That requirement comes from the 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, but many do because completing it lets them skip the in-person written knowledge test at the DPS. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. If you are an Oak Point resident in either age group and need your first Texas license, start your enrollment at TrafficSchool.net today.

Does passing the course final 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. Under current Texas DPS requirements, passing the course final means you do not sit for a separate written test at the Denton County DPS Driver License Office. The exam covers road signs and road rules, the same content the DPS written test covers. You still need to complete the in-person driving skills test at the DPS, which is a separate requirement. Bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion when you go to the DPS to apply for your license. That certificate is what confirms you passed.

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 complete all 6 hours in a single sitting or spread the work across multiple sessions over several days. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you completed work. Most Oak Point residents find it practical to work through the course in chunks around their existing schedule. The only thing that determines when you finish is when you sit down and do the work. Log in at TrafficSchool.net and go 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 by your TDLR approved course provider after you pass the final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for a first Texas driver license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you bring the ADE-1317 to the DPS Driver License Office along with your other application documents. For Oak Point residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office handling road tests is in Denton County, roughly 20 to 25 miles from Oak Point depending on your starting point. Your ADE-1317 is issued digitally as soon as you pass the course final exam. Download it, print it if needed, and bring it to your DPS appointment.

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 Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The 6-hour adult course is instruction only. You complete the lessons, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317 certificate. The in-person driving skills test at the Denton County DPS Driver License Office is still required before you receive your license, but that is a DPS step, not a course requirement. No supervised driving log is needed to complete enrollment or receive your certificate through TrafficSchool.net.

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

The main reason is skipping the in-person written knowledge test at the DPS. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older who complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the built-in final exam do not have to take the written test at the Denton County DPS Driver License Office. That saves a trip and cuts down on time spent at the office. Some adults in this group moved to Texas from another state and need a Texas license for the first time. Others let a previous license lapse. Either way, the course covers Texas-specific road signs and traffic laws that are worth knowing before the driving skills test. Completing it through TrafficSchool.net gets you the ADE-1317 certificate and one less step at the DPS.
