Who Needs Texas Adult Drivers Ed?
Required for Young Adults Ages 18–24
Texas adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who have not previously completed a state-approved driver education course are required by law to complete a six-hour, state-approved Texas Adult Drivers Ed course before applying for a first-time license. Our course meets this requirement completely online.
Recommended for Adults 25 and Older
Adults 25 and over are not required to take the course, but many choose it. You are not alone—plenty of adults over 25 have never applied for a drivers license or are new to Texas rules. Our Texas Adult Online Drivers Ed prepares you for the drivers license test and lets you complete the official written exam at home so you skip the written test line at the DPS office. Take it on your schedule in the comfort of your home.
