Many adults over 25 have never applied for their driver license and suddenly find a need to do so. It's actually not uncommon at all!
Our Texas Adult Online Driver Ed helps you prepare for the driver license test. The 6 hours of training prepares you for the final exam in our course, which is the DPS written drivers exam.
That means:
- No spending hours at the DPS office waiting in line
- No taking the exam with distractions around you
- Take the course on your home computer
- Complete the written exam from the comfort of your home
- Enroll Online — Purchase the course and get instant access to start learning right away.
- Start Learning — Complete 6 hours of online interactive training with 9 modules using audio, text, graphics, and video. Study anytime, anywhere — fully self-paced.
- Complete Training — Finish all modules and review practice exams as many times as you need.
- Pass Our Final Exam (DPS-Approved Written Test) — Complete the final exam included in our course. Passing this exam meets the DPS written test requirement. You get up to 3 attempts — 90.4% pass on the first try!
- Receive Your ADE-1317 Certificate from Us — Pass the exam and we will issue your official ADE-1317 Driver Education Certificate. Download and print the PDF — this certifies you have completed a TDLR-approved course and passed the written exam.
- Complete the Free ITAD Course — Take the 1-hour "Impact Texas Adult Drivers" course on the DPS website. You'll receive a separate certificate from DPS.
- Visit Your Local DPS Office — Bring both certificates (ADE-1317 from us + ITAD from DPS) plus your required documents. Present the ADE-1317 to skip the written test, then get your learner permit or schedule your road test.
Yes. This course is fully approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). The DE-964 certificate you receive is accepted at all Texas DPS offices for your road test and license application.
It depends on your age:
- Ages 18-24: Yes, Texas law requires completion of a 6-hour adult driver education course before you can take the road test.
- Ages 25+: No, it's not required by law. However, most adults without formal training fail the DPS road test. This course teaches you exactly what the examiner will test.
It's self-paced. Most students finish in 1-3 days. You can:
- Complete all 6 hours in one sitting (if you have the time)
- Spread it out over several days or weeks
- Take breaks anytime — your progress is automatically saved
This is critical for 18-24 year olds:
- You must get your learner license first (take the written test at DPS)
- You must hold it for at least 24 hours before taking your road test
- You can practice driving during those 24 hours (no minimum hours required)
We explain exactly how to schedule both DPS appointments back-to-back to get your license as fast as possible.
3 simple steps:
- Get your certificate — We provide your DE-964 certificate instantly (digital copy)
- Go to DPS — Bring your certificate to schedule or take your road test
- Get your license — Pass the road test and receive your unrestricted Texas driver license
For ages 18-24: You must also complete the learner license step before the road test (see question 4).
You can retake it. DPS charges a small fee for each retake. Your DE-964 certificate does not expire quickly:
- Ages 18-24: Valid for 90 days
- Ages 25+: No expiration
You do not need to retake this course if you fail the road test — just practice more and try again.
