How Do I Know If I Passed the Texas Adult Driver Education Course (ADE)
You have passed the Texas Adult Driver Education Course when you receive your ADE-1317 completion certificate by email. That email is your confirmation that all lessons are complete, all lesson quizzes are passed, the DPS exam is passed, and the course is finished.
What Triggers the Certificate
The course marks you as complete after you:
Complete all content in all lessons
Pass the end-of-lesson quiz for each lesson
Accumulate the required 6 hours of instructional time
Pass the 30-question Texas DPS Highway Sign and Traffic Law Examination with 70% or higher
Once all conditions are met, your ADE-1317 certificate is generated and emailed to you automatically.
Checking Your Progress During the Course
While still working through the course, you can see your progress in your course dashboard. Each lesson shows as complete once you pass its quiz. The DPS exam shows as complete once you pass it. When all lessons and the DPS exam show complete, the course is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
I passed all the lesson quizzes but have not received a certificate — what do I do? You also need to pass the DPS exam, which is the final lesson. Log in and check whether the DPS exam shows as complete in your dashboard. If it does not, complete the exam to receive your certificate.
Is there a separate pass/fail notification? No. Your certificate email is the confirmation. If you received the certificate, you passed. If you have not received it, the course is not yet complete.
Can I check my DPS exam score after finishing? Yes. Your score is shown immediately after you submit the exam and is also accessible in your course dashboard.
What if only some of my lessons show as complete? All lessons must be completed and all quizzes passed before the DPS exam unlocks. Log in and complete any remaining lessons.
My certificate has the wrong name — what do I do? Contact Driving Logic support immediately. The name on the ADE-1317 certificate must match your government-issued ID exactly for the DPS to accept it. We will correct and reissue the certificate.
