The Texas 6-Hour Adult Driving Course
Texas law treats adult drivers differently depending on their age. Here is exactly what you need to know:
Adults Ages 18 to 24
The State of Texas mandates that you must complete a state-approved 6-Hour Adult Driver Education Course before you can apply for your driver’s license.
Adults Ages 25 and Older
While the course is not legally required for this age group, taking it is highly recommended. Why? Because completing this 6-hour course allows you to completely bypass the difficult written exam at the DPS office.
Your Roadmap to an Adult Driver's License
Navigating the DPS requirements can be confusing. Follow this simple step-by-step roadmap to get your license quickly and legally:
Step 1
Complete the 6-Hour Course
Enroll in our state-approved online or in-person 6-hour adult driving course. Once completed, you will receive your ADE-1317 certificate, which waives the DPS written exam.
Step 2
Get Your B-Restricted License (Learner's Permit)
Take your certificate, ID, Social Security card, and two proofs of residency to the DPS to apply for your B-Restricted license. This allows you to practice driving legally with a licensed adult.
Step 3
Watch the ITAD Video
Texas requires all adults to watch a free, 1-hour Impact Texas Adult Drivers (ITAD) video on distracted driving. You must complete this within 90 days before your road test.
Step 4
Practice Behind the Wheel
Book our professional in-car driving lessons. Our instructors will teach you real-world driving skills on the streets of Arlington, Bedford, and Euless.
Step 5

Why We Are Different
Learn 2 Drive Academy: Comprehensive Course FAQs
Is the 6-Hour Adult Driver Education Course mandatory in Texas?
Yes, if you are between the ages of 18 and 24 and applying for your first Texas driver’s license, the state legally requires you to complete a certified 6-hour adult driving course. If you are 25 or older, the course is voluntary but highly recommended because passing it allows you to completely skip the difficult written knowledge test at the DPS office.
Does your 6-hour adult course include the written exam?
The final exam included in our state-approved 6-hour course replaces the official written knowledge test administered at the DPS. Once you pass our course, your written testing requirement is fully satisfied.
What documents do I need to bring to the DPS to get my adult license issued?
To ensure a smooth process without being turned away, you must bring:
- Form DL-14A (Official Driver License Application).
- Proof of Identity (such as an unexpired Passport or original Birth Certificate).
- Original Social Security Card (photocopies are not accepted).
- Two distinct documents proving Texas residency (like a utility bill or bank statement showing your local address).
- Your Learn 2 Drive Academy ADE-1317 course completion certificate and your Impact Texas Adult Drivers (ITAD) video certificate.
I am an adult beginner with severe driving anxiety. How do your instructors handle nervous drivers?
We maintain a strict Zero-Judgment Policy. Our state-certified instructors specialize in teaching nervous adults and international residents. We focus on building your practical skills and real-world confidence at your own pace, breaking maneuvers down into simple steps and practicing on actual local roads before entering heavy traffic.
What is the Impact Texas Adult Drivers (ITAD) certificate, and when should I get it?
The ITAD is a mandatory, free 1-hour video provided by the DPS that educates drivers on the extreme dangers of distracted driving. You must watch this video after completing your 6-hour educational course, and your completion certificate is only valid for 90 days leading up to your scheduled road test. We provide the direct link and reminders so you don’t watch the wrong version.
