Three Steps and You're Done

Create Your Account

Sign up and get immediate access to the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. The course is approved by TDLR under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Ochiltree County residents have used this exact path to get licensed without driving to Amarillo just to sit a written test.

Work Through the Course

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug material through text-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section. Log out and come back whenever you need to. No timers forcing you to sit still.

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 get your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test at the office.

Every Day Without This Course Is a Day Without Your License

For anyone between 18 and 24 in Ochiltree County, the Texas DPS will not process a first-time license application without this course completion certificate. That is not a suggestion. The nearest DPS Driver License Office handling road tests for Perryton residents is in Pampa, roughly 90 miles south on Highway 83. Finish the course, get your ADE-1317, and make that drive count. Do not make two trips when one will do.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

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

Texas law requires anyone between 18 and 24 applying for a 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, Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. 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 Ochiltree County residents in either group, finishing the course online means the trip to the Pampa DPS office is for the road test only, not the written test. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net to get started under current TDLR guidelines.

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 a TDLR-approved substitute for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, as established under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The exam covers road signs and road rules in multiple-choice format. Pass it at the required score and you receive the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. When you bring that certificate to the DPS Driver License Office in Pampa, roughly 90 miles from Perryton, you do not sit a separate written test at the counter. The in-person driving skills test is still required and handled by DPS separately. The written portion is done once you pass this exam.

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. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, so finishing it in a single day is possible if your schedule allows. You can also split it across multiple sessions. Progress saves automatically on the server after each section, so logging out does not cost you any completed work. For Ochiltree County residents who want to get to the Pampa DPS office for their road test as soon as possible, finishing the course in one focused session is a real option. Log back in anytime to pick up where you stopped.

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 TDLR-approved providers when a student passes the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam, as required under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. You receive it digitally after passing. Print it or have it ready to present when you go to the DPS Driver License Office. For Perryton residents, that office is in Pampa, about 90 miles south on Highway 83. The DPS uses the ADE-1317 to confirm you completed the required adult driver education and passed the built-in written knowledge test. Without it, the DPS cannot process a first-time license application for applicants ages 18 to 24 under current Texas DPS requirements.

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 adult course is classroom instruction only, delivered here through text-based interactive lessons and quizzes. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step handled by the DPS Driver License Office in Pampa. That test evaluates your actual driving, but the course itself does not require documented practice hours. Focus on the course material, pass the final exam, and then schedule your road test appointment in Pampa.

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

The practical reason is straightforward for anyone living in Ochiltree County. The nearest DPS Driver License Office for Perryton residents is in Pampa, roughly 90 miles away. Without completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course, a first-time applicant 25 or older still has to pass the DPS Class C written knowledge test in person at that office. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, completing this TDLR-approved course substitutes for that in-person written test. That means one trip to Pampa for the road test instead of two separate trips. The course costs $38.00 and saves the time and fuel of an extra round trip. For anyone who has put off getting a license, that trade-off is worth it.
