What If I Enrolled in the Wrong Texas Adult Driver Education Course (ADE)
If you enrolled in the wrong course, contact Driving Logic support as soon as possible — before completing the course. The sooner you reach out, the more options are available.
Common Wrong-Enrollment Situations
Enrolled in the Driving Safety Course instead of the Adult Driver Education Course These are two different programs. The Driving Safety Course (defensive driving) is for licensed drivers seeking ticket dismissal or an insurance discount. The Adult Driver Education Course is for first-time license applicants. A DS-230 certificate will not satisfy the driver education requirement at the DPS. Contact us right away to resolve the enrollment.
Enrolled in a course for the wrong state If you received a Texas citation or need a Texas license but enrolled in a course for another state, the certificate will not be accepted by the Texas DPS. Contact us immediately.
Enrolled under a wrong name or email Your ADE-1317 certificate is issued in the name you registered with. If it does not match your government-issued ID, the DPS will not accept it. Contact us before the certificate is issued so we can correct your name.
Enrolled in the Teen Driver Education course instead of the Adult course The teen course (DE-964) and the adult course (ADE-1317) are different programs with different certificates. The DE-964 certificate does not substitute for the ADE-1317. Contact us to correct the enrollment.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a traffic ticket and need ticket dismissal — did I enroll in the right course? If you need ticket dismissal, you need the Texas Driving Safety Course — not the Adult Driver Education Course. Contact us right away if you enrolled in the wrong program.
I am a first-time license applicant — did I enroll in the right course? Yes, the Texas Adult Driver Education Course is the correct program for first-time license applicants ages 18 and older.
I started the course before realizing I enrolled incorrectly — can I still get a refund? Contact us immediately. Refund eligibility depends on how far into the course you are. See the refund article for our full refund policy.
What if I already completed the wrong course? Contact us. Depending on the situation, we can advise on next steps. If you need an ADE-1317 certificate for your DPS appointment, you may need to enroll in and complete the correct course.
I enrolled under the wrong name — will this affect my certificate? Yes. The ADE-1317 certificate must show your legal name exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID. The DPS will reject it if names do not match. Contact us immediately so we can correct your name before the certificate is issued.
