What Happens If I Do Not Finish the Texas Adult Driver Education Course (ADE)

If you do not finish the course, your progress is saved automatically and you can return at any time to complete it. No ADE-1317 certificate is issued until you finish all lessons and pass the DPS exam. There is no external deadline imposed by Driving Logic.

Your Progress Is Saved

Leaving the course without finishing does not delete your progress. Log back in at drivinglogic.com at any time and continue from where you left off. There is no time limit on returning.

No DPS Appointment Until You Have Your Certificate

You cannot complete the ITAD program or schedule a DPS driver license appointment without your ADE-1317 certificate. Finishing the course is the necessary first step before any subsequent licensing steps can be taken.

Your Enrollment Does Not Expire

Your course enrollment does not expire. You can return and complete the course whenever it is convenient.

No Penalty for Taking Longer

There is no penalty for taking weeks or months to finish the course. Many adult students complete it in a few sessions spread over time. Take the time you need.
