Welcome to our Texas, Online Adult Driver Education Course.
This course is separated into different sections or ‘chapters’. Each one relating to specific driver safety elements, traffic laws, and anything else you will need along your journey behind the wheel. Each chapter is comprised of a number of pages, allowing you to move along at your own pace. At the end of each chapter, we will briefly review the most important content that we covered.
Also, keep in mind that you can pause and exit the course at any time. When you log back in, we will direct you straight to where you left off. You are also always able to review past modules and chapters by visiting the Course Dashboard.
