You Cannot Apply Until This Course Is Done

For anyone between 18 and 24, Texas law requires the completed course before the DPS will process your license application. The sooner you finish, the sooner you walk into the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, roughly 40 miles up US-84 from Post, with your ADE-1317 certificate in hand and the written test already behind you. The driving skills test is the only thing left after that.

One Flat Price

The course costs $38.00. No hidden fees added at checkout. That covers the full course, the final exam, and your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion once you pass.

Online Course

Complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course on your own schedule without driving to a classroom. Post is in Garza County with no local in-person driver ed facility nearby.

No Classroom Commute

Skip the drive to Lubbock or another city just to sit in a driver ed class.

Exam Built In

Pass the final and the DPS written knowledge test requirement is already handled.

Certificate Issued Digitally

Your ADE-1317 arrives as soon as you pass. No waiting for mail.

In-Person Classroom

Traditional driver ed requires scheduled class sessions at a physical location. For Post residents in Garza County, that means traveling outside the area.

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the school's timetable, not yours. Rescheduling is rarely quick.

Travel Required

No licensed adult driver ed classroom operates in Post. Expect a round trip to Lubbock.

Same DPS Steps After

You still bring a certificate to the DPS and still take the driving skills test in person.

Questions About the Course and the Post Area DPS Process

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

Anyone applying for a 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 it, but many do because completing it lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test. For Post residents in Garza County, that is a practical reason to enroll regardless of age. Start by creating your account at 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 in this 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 retake a written test when you show up at the DPS. This is confirmed under the adult driver education framework in Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step. For Post residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office handling road tests is in Lubbock, approximately 40 miles up US-84. Bring your ADE-1317 certificate when you go.

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, so finishing in a single day is possible if you have the time. You can also split it across multiple sessions since progress saves automatically after each section. Log out and come back without losing your place. For someone in Post juggling work or other obligations, that matters. The course is text and image based with quizzes between sections, so you move through it at whatever pace your schedule allows. No live video sessions are required.

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 when you pass the course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires from adult driver education completers when they apply for a first license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you bring this certificate to the DPS Driver License Office as part of your application. For Post residents in Garza County, that means taking it to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, about 40 miles from Post on US-84. The certificate is issued digitally through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, as soon as you pass. Print it or have it ready on your phone.

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 adult course covers the knowledge side: Texas road signs, traffic laws, and alcohol and drug content through interactive lessons and a final exam. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step from this course. Post residents should schedule that test at the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office after receiving their ADE-1317 certificate.

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 do not have to take the written test at the DPS office. For someone in Post who has never held a Texas license, that removes one trip to the Lubbock DPS Driver License Office, roughly 40 miles away on US-84. The course also covers material that directly prepares you for the driving skills test. Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84 allows this substitution for any eligible adult. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved provider, and get started.
