Work Through the Course

The course runs through text-based interactive lessons covering Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material, with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so closing the browser does not cost you anything. No live video streams, no scheduled sessions.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

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 between 18 and 24 in Crockett 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 DPS office and get your license in hand. There is no reason to wait.

TDLR Approved Content

Every lesson meets the standards set by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The course satisfies the state-mandated 6-hour adult driver education requirement under current Texas law.

No Classroom Required

Ozona is roughly 80 miles from the nearest full-service DPS Driver License Office. Finishing this course online means you only make that drive when you are ready for your skills test.

One Flat Price

The course costs $38.00. No hidden fees, no upsells required to get your ADE-1317 certificate after passing the final exam.

Online Course

Complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course on your schedule, from anywhere in Crockett County, with no commute to a classroom and no set class times.

No Daily Hour Cap

Auto-Saved Progress

Log out anytime and pick up exactly where you left off without losing completed sections.

Built-In Written Test

Pass the final exam in the course and skip the DPS written knowledge test entirely.

In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom driver education requires scheduled sessions at a physical location, which is not readily available in Ozona or Crockett County for adults.

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the provider's timetable, not yours, with no option to pause and resume.

Travel Required

No adult driver education classroom is operating in Ozona, so travel adds time and cost.

Same DPS Steps After

You still need the ADE-1317 certificate and still must pass the DPS driving skills test.

How Long This Actually Takes

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

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Complete the full 6-hour course on your own schedule, then drive to DPS only once for your skills test.
In-Person Classroom Locate a provider outside Ozona, schedule sessions around their calendar, and still make the same DPS trip afterward.

What You Actually Spend

The online course price is fixed. In-person options add travel costs for anyone living in Crockett County.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course One flat fee of $38.00 covers the full course and your ADE-1317 certificate after passing.
In-Person Classroom Classroom tuition plus fuel and time for multiple round trips out of Ozona adds up fast.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

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

Anyone applying for their first Texas driver license between the ages of 18 and 24 is required to complete this course before the DPS will process their application. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults who are 25 or older are not required to take the course, but completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. For Crockett County residents, that means one less reason to make the roughly 80-mile drive to the nearest full-service DPS Driver License Office before you are ready for your driving skills test. Check your age group and enroll accordingly.

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 designed to substitute for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, as recognized under current Texas DPS requirements and TDLR guidelines. The exam covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. Pass it at the required score and the DPS accepts your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion in place of the in-person written test. You still have to pass the driving skills test at the DPS office in person. That part does not change. For Crockett County residents, finishing the course exam means your trip to the DPS is only for the behind-the-wheel portion. Start the course, work through the material, and take the exam when you feel ready.

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 minimum under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap on this course, so finishing in a single day is possible if you have the time to sit with it. You can also spread the sessions across multiple days. Progress saves automatically after each section on the server side, so logging out does not cost you any completed work. Living in Ozona means your schedule is your own on this one. No commute to a classroom, no instructor availability to work around. Enroll, work through the lessons, and take the final exam when you have covered the material.

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 final exam for the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. It is a digital certificate that documents you completed the state-required adult driver education hours and passed the built-in written exam. When you go to apply for your first Texas driver license, you bring that certificate to the DPS Driver License Office. For Crockett County residents, the nearest full-service DPS Driver License Office handling road tests is approximately 80 miles from Ozona, so having your ADE-1317 ready before you make that drive matters. The DPS will not issue your license without it if you are in the 18 to 24 age group. Download it as soon as you pass.

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. What you do need to complete is the full 6 hours of online instruction and pass the final exam at the required score of 70%. The driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is separate from this course entirely. You schedule that test at the DPS Driver License Office after you have your ADE-1317 certificate in hand. Crockett County residents should call ahead to the nearest DPS office to confirm scheduling before making the drive.

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 who complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course and pass the built-in final exam receive an ADE-1317 certificate that substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test. For someone in or around Ozona, the nearest full-service DPS Driver License Office is roughly 80 miles away. Making that drive twice, once for the written test and once for the driving skills test, adds real time and fuel cost. Finishing the course means you make that trip once, already cleared for the written portion. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, the course is fully available to adults 25 and older. Enroll, finish the course, and go to the DPS ready for your skills test only.
