Texas Adult Drivers Ed Online — $39.95, Done in 6 Hours
One simple price covers the whole thing: a TDLR-approved 6-hour course you take online at your own pace, plus your Texas drivers ed certificate (the ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion) the moment you pass. Texas DPS accepts that certificate in place of the written knowledge test — the road-signs and traffic-laws test — for certificates less than two years old. The vision and road tests are still taken at DPS.
Just $39.95 (regularly $64.95) — one flat price with your certificate included and zero upsells. Some courses post a lower sticker, then add fees at checkout; here the number you see is the number you pay, plus 6 months of access.
