Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. Lessons are text and image based with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically on the server after each section, so closing the browser does not cost you anything.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and alcohol and drug content required by TDLR. No live video streams. No enforced timers. Log out after any section and pick back up exactly where you left off, on any device.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

After completing 6 hours of TDLR-approved instruction, take the 30-question final exam. Score 70% or better and you receive your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test when you apply for your license.

State Approved Content

Every lesson meets TDLR standards under Title 16, Chapter 84. The final exam covers the same road signs and traffic law content tested at the DPS, so passing it here means you do not retake it there.

In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom driver education requires finding a licensed school, commuting from Stinnett, and fitting a fixed schedule that may not exist locally.

Fixed Class Times Required

You attend on the school's schedule, not yours, which can delay when you finish and apply.

Separate DPS Written Test

Some in-person paths still require the written knowledge test at the DPS office on a separate visit.

Travel From Stinnett

No licensed adult driver education classroom operates in Stinnett, so you commute to Borger or farther.

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 the ages of 18 and 24 applying for a first Texas driver license to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before submitting their application. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, specifically 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 Stinnett residents in either group, finishing the course online means one fewer trip to the Borger-area DPS Driver License Office. Start enrollment at TrafficSchool.net to confirm your eligibility 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 accepted by the Texas DPS as a substitute for the Class C written knowledge test that applicants would otherwise take in person at the Driver License Office. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, a TDLR-approved course that includes a qualifying final exam satisfies the written knowledge requirement. That means when you show up at the Borger-area DPS office with your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion, you do not sit for the written test again. The in-person driving skills test is still required and separate. Bring your certificate to your DPS appointment and you move straight to scheduling that road test.

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 it in a single sitting is possible if your schedule allows. There are also no enforced timers between sections. Stinnett residents who work during the week often split the material across a few evenings and finish over a long weekend. Progress saves automatically to the server after each section, so you never lose ground between sessions. Log back in from any device and pick up exactly where you stopped. The final exam becomes available once you complete all required instruction hours.

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 a TDLR-approved provider when you pass the Texas Adult Driver Education Course final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires from first-time adult license applicants to confirm they completed the state-mandated driver education requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. Once you pass the final exam at the required score, TrafficSchool.net issues your ADE-1317 digitally. Bring it to your appointment at the Borger-area DPS Driver License Office, which serves Hutchinson County residents including those from Stinnett. The office is roughly 12 miles from Stinnett. Present the certificate along with your other required documents when you apply for your Texas Class C license.

Do adults have to log behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course?

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 focuses on the six hours of classroom-equivalent instruction and the final exam. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step from this course entirely. Stinnett residents schedule that road test at the Borger-area DPS Driver License Office after completing the course and receiving the ADE-1317 certificate. Check current Texas DPS requirements for the full list of documents needed at your license appointment.

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

The main reason adults 25 and older take the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is to skip the in-person DPS Class C written knowledge test. Under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, completing a TDLR-approved adult driver education course with a passing final exam satisfies the written knowledge requirement, so you do not take that test at the Driver License Office. For someone in Stinnett, that means one fewer trip to the Borger-area DPS office, which sits about 12 miles away on US-136. It also means arriving at the DPS appointment already knowing the material cold, since the course covers the same Texas road signs and traffic laws the DPS tests. The driving skills test is still required regardless of age.
