Why Texas Adults Choose This Course

DPS Written Exam Included

Take the official DPS Written Exam from the comfort of your own home! Anything to make your trip to the DPS less stressful is worth it, trust us! The course does a great job preparing the student for the DPS test. 98% of students pass on the first try, but just in case, the course allows the student 3 attempts to pass. 

Official TDLR Texas State-Approved Course

Fully approved by the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR) and DPS, giving you confidence that every lesson meets state requirements and will be accepted at the DPS when you go to get your learner's permit and driver's license.

Certificate Accepted at All Texas DPS Offices

Once you pass the course and DPS exam, you’ll receive your official ADE certificate (ADE-1317) to take to DPS.

Mobile Friendly

Take your lessons and DPS test on any device: phone, tablet, or computer. Pick up where you left off anytime.

Step By Step Guides

We understand that the process to getting a license in Texas can be confusing. We make sure our courses include step by step information for both students and parents. 

Fast and Easy

Texas mandates that adults ages 18–24 complete a 6-hour Adult Driver Education course. This state-required drivers ed can be finished in one day, making it the fastest way to meet Texas licensing requirements.

Interactive Learning

Our course is designed to be interactive and engaging with a human instructor as well as a character instructor, tons of videos, and lesson quizzes to help reinforce learning.

Great Customer Service

Many people choose this company for their outstanding customer service and commitment to helping customers succeed. Instead of relying solely on automated systems, student's benefit from real, knowledgeable support representatives you can call and speak with directly whenever you need assistance. Virtual Drive's team makes the entire process easier, clearer, and far more personal.

Who Needs the 6-Hour Adult Course?

Texas requires this course for:

  • Adults ages 18–24 applying for their first driver’s license
  • Optional but very helpful for adults 25+ who want to prepare before taking the DPS written exam. (Most preferred option for those 25+ adults who are more comfortable taking the test online, in the comfort of their own home, before going to the DPS.)


You complete the DPS written test online, not at the DPS office.

FAQ's for Adults

Yes. Adults ages 18–24 must complete a 6-hour TDLR-approved Adult Driver Education course. 


Yes, this is a fully approved ADE course accepted at all DPS locations.

Texas law doesn’t require formal driver education for adults over 25, but If you’re a first-time driver in the (18-24) age range, you do have to complete a full, state-approved, 6 hour course before becoming eligible for the DPS Written Exam.

If you’re a first-time driver in the 25+ age group, the process for getting your learner’s permit or driver’s license is similar to those in the 18-24 age range, but without a required course. However, our online Texas Adult Driver’s Ed course is the easiest way to prepare for the DPS written test. You’ll get access to essential materials and can complete the DPS written exam online—no DPS visits needed.

(Adults over 25 can only take the DPS test online if done together with a 6 hour course. Otherwise, the test will be taken at the DPS office only.)
