In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom driver education requires showing up on a set schedule, often at a location outside Randall County, with no flexibility for work or other commitments.

Fixed Location and Times

You attend on the school's schedule, not yours, with no option to pause.

Travel Required

Classroom providers may not operate inside Randall County, adding drive time.

Same End Certificate

You still get the ADE-1317, but the path to it takes more of your time.

How Long Does Each Path Actually Take?

Both paths lead to the same ADE-1317 certificate. The difference is how much of your week they consume before you get there.

Method

Method

Questions About the Course in Randall, Texas

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, 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. Both groups end up with the same ADE-1317 certificate. If you are in Randall County and need your first Texas license, check which group you fall into and enroll at TrafficSchool.net accordingly.

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

Yes. The final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, as recognized under current Texas DPS requirements tied to TDLR approved adult driver education under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The exam is 30 multiple-choice questions split between road signs and road rules. Pass it at the required score and you do not retake a written test in person at the Randall area DPS Driver License Office. You still need to pass the in-person driving skills test at the DPS. The written portion, though, is done the moment you pass the course exam. Bring your ADE-1317 certificate when you go in.

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

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course covers 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, which is the state mandated requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so finishing in a single day is possible if your schedule allows it. You can also spread it across multiple sessions since progress saves automatically after each section. Log out, come back the next day, and pick up exactly where you left off. For Randall residents juggling work or other obligations, that format makes it realistic to finish without rearranging your entire week. Start your enrollment at TrafficSchool.net and go at whatever pace 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 for the Texas Adult Driver Education Course, issued by your TDLR approved provider once you pass the final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for your first Class C driver license. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, completing a TDLR approved adult driver education course is what triggers the certificate. You receive it digitally through TrafficSchool.net after passing. Bring it with you when you visit the Randall area DPS Driver License Office to apply for your license. The DPS office that serves Randall County residents is located in Amarillo, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from central Randall depending on traffic on Georgia Street.

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 adult applicants covered under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The 6-hour course and its final exam are what you need to satisfy the adult education requirement. Once you pass and receive your ADE-1317 certificate, you go directly to the DPS to apply for your license and schedule the in-person driving skills test. The driving skills test at the DPS is still required for everyone. Behind-the-wheel practice before that test is your call, but it is not a logged course requirement here.

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 tied to TDLR approved adult driver education under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, passing the course final exam substitutes for the Class C written knowledge test at the DPS office. For someone 25 or older who has never held a Texas license, that means one fewer step at the Amarillo DPS office that serves Randall County. The DPS office handles a steady volume of applicants, and arriving with your ADE-1317 certificate already in hand cuts down what you need to do in person. The course is also a solid refresher on Texas-specific road rules before you take the driving skills test. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net to get started.
