Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there a $10 certificate fee? TDLR requires all approved driver education schools to purchase state-issued ADEE-1317 certificate numbers. Each certificate includes security features the DPS uses to validate your completion when you apply for your license. The $10 fee covers the cost of the certificate number and handling of the official document.

Is the DPS written exam included in the $39.95? Yes. The official 30-question Texas DPS Highway Sign and Traffic Law Examination is integrated into the course at no additional charge.

Do I pay the DPS separately? Yes. The DPS charges a separate $33 fee when you visit a driver license office to apply for your license. This is not part of the Driving Logic course fee.

Is the ITAD course included? No — but it is free. After completing this course, you complete ITAD at impacttexasdrivers.dps.texas.gov at no cost.

When do I pay? Payment is collected at enrollment and is required before you can access the course.

Is the $10 certificate fee refundable? No. The $10 certificate and handling fee is non-refundable. If you are eligible for a refund, the refund amount is $29.95 (the course fee only).
