Street Wise Driving Schools offers a TDLR-approved online course for both teens and adults in Texas. It meets all state requirements, helps you prepare for your permit or driver’s license, and lets you learn at your own pace from any device.

• Teen Driver’s Ed (ages 14–17): Requires 32 hours of online instruction plus behind-the-wheel training with a parent or instructor. Completion provides the DE-964 certificate.
• Adult Driver’s Ed (ages 18+): Requires only a 6-hour course to qualify for your license. Completion provides the ADE-1317 certificate (ADEE).

We keep pricing affordable and transparent. Your course includes:

• All required state lessons
• Unlimited retakes on knowledge exams
• Interactive videos, quizzes, and real-world driving scenarios
• Official completion certificate (DE-964 for teens / ADE-1317 for adults)
• Access across devices (phone, tablet, computer)

Note: DPS/TDLR fees for permits or licenses are separate and paid directly to the state.

• Teens: 32 hours (required by the state). Work at your own pace.
• Adults: 6 hours (required by the state). Many finish in one day.

With Street Wise, you have 16 months of access to complete your course. Most students finish faster, but you’ll have plenty of time if you want to go at your own pace.
