Pass the Exam and Get Certified

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas, and who can take it by choice?

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 applying for their first Texas driver license 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, with adult enrollment specifically addressed in Section 84.503. 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 when they apply. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion on passing. If you are in Ochiltree County and ready to apply for your first license, check your age group and enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider.

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

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 at the required score satisfies the written knowledge test requirement, so you do not retake it in person at the DPS Driver License Office. This applies whether you are 18 to 24 and required to take the course, or 25 and older and taking it by choice. Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84 governs this substitution. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is a separate requirement and still happens at the office. For Ochiltree residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office handling road tests is approximately 20 miles away in Perryton.

How long does the course take, and can I finish it in one day?

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. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, meaning you can work through all of it in a single sitting or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. Your progress saves automatically after each section on the server, so logging out and returning later picks up exactly where you left off. There are no enforced timers or mandatory breaks built into the course. For someone in Ochiltree County with a full day available, finishing in one session is realistic. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, and start when your schedule allows.

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 Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, confirming you finished the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and passed the final exam. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues it digitally after you pass. You bring that certificate to the Texas DPS Driver License Office when you apply for your first license. It tells the DPS you completed the required adult driver education and passed the written knowledge component. Without it, the DPS cannot process a first-time license application for anyone in the 18 to 24 age group. For Ochiltree County residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office is in Perryton, roughly 20 miles south on US-83. Have your ADE-1317 ready 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, Section 84.503. The 6-hour adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered through text and image-based interactive lessons and a final exam. Once you pass the final and receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, you take that certificate to the DPS and schedule your in-person driving skills test. The driving skills test itself is still required at the DPS office. For Ochiltree County residents, that means a trip to the Perryton DPS Driver License Office to complete the road test portion.

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 their first Texas license can either take the written test at the DPS office or complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and use the built-in final exam as a substitute, as provided under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. For someone in Ochiltree County, the nearest DPS Driver License Office is in Perryton, about 20 miles away. Taking the course means one trip to Perryton for the driving skills test instead of two separate trips, one for the written test and one for the road test. The course also covers Texas-specific road signs and traffic laws in detail, which is useful for anyone new to driving in Texas.
