Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account with TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can stop and pick back up without losing anything. No classroom in Sunray or Moore County is required.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and alcohol and drug impairment content through text and image-based interactive lessons. Short quizzes between sections keep you sharp. Adults are not required to log any behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course under current TDLR guidelines.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

After completing 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, you take a 30-question final exam covering road signs and road rules. Score 70% or higher 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.

Every Day Counts Before You Can Drive Legally

Ages 18 to 24 in Texas cannot apply for a first driver license until this course is finished. That is the requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The Amarillo DPS Driver License Office, roughly 60 miles south of Sunray on US-87, handles road skills tests for Moore County residents. Finish the course, get your certificate, and get that appointment scheduled.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

First-time Texas driver license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 are required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before applying for a license. 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 it, but completing the course lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test when they apply. Both groups receive the same ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. If you live in Sunray or anywhere in Moore County and are applying for your first Texas Class C license, check your age group and enroll accordingly through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com.

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 substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test under current Texas DPS requirements. That means once you pass the final exam at the required score, you do not retake a written test at the DPS Driver License Office. The ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion you receive after passing serves as proof when you apply for your license. This applies whether you drive to the Amarillo DPS Driver License Office, roughly 60 miles south of Sunray on US-87, or another Texas DPS location. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is a separate requirement and still must be completed in person.

How long does the course take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course requires 6 hours of TDLR approved instruction, which is the state-mandated 6-hour minimum under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. The course is self-paced with no daily hour cap, so you can complete all of it in one day or spread it across multiple sessions over several days. There is no enforced daily limit. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you completed work. For Sunray residents juggling work or other obligations in Moore County, that kind of scheduling flexibility makes it practical to finish without rearranging your week. Start when you are ready and work through it at whatever pace fits your schedule.

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 Texas driver education provider after you finish the course and pass the final exam. It is the document the Texas DPS requires when you apply for your first Class C driver license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, you bring this certificate to the DPS Driver License Office as part of your application package. For Sunray and Moore County residents, the nearest DPS Driver License Office that handles road tests is in Amarillo, approximately 60 miles south on US-87. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, delivers the ADE-1317 digitally after you pass. Bring it with you or have it accessible when you go in for your appointment.

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 is instruction-based: you complete the lessons, pass the final exam, and receive your ADE-1317 certificate. The in-person driving skills test at the DPS is still required and is a separate step handled at the DPS Driver License Office, not through this course. Sunray residents will schedule that skills test at the Amarillo DPS location after they have their certificate in hand and their application ready.

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

Adults 25 and older who take the Texas Adult Driver Education Course skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test when they apply for their first Texas license. Under current Texas DPS requirements, passing the course final exam substitutes for that test, which means one fewer step at the DPS Driver License Office. For someone in Sunray or Moore County who has never held a Texas license, that is a real time saver given the roughly 60-mile drive to the Amarillo DPS location. The course also covers the actual content tested on the DPS exam, including road signs, traffic laws, and right-of-way rules, so working through it is useful preparation regardless of the test exemption. Enroll through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, to get started.
