Requirements for Taking a Texas Defensive Driving Course

If you wish to take your Texas defensive driving course online for traffic ticket dismissal, you should read the following requirements.

• Before taking a defensive driving course, you must first request permission from the court either on or before the date assigned to you on your notice to appear / ticket.
• The State of Texas stipulates that you must not have completed an approved driver safety course for another citation within 12 months prior to the date of your current offense. (Taking the course for an insurance discount only does not count).
• Must have a valid driver’s license.

Note: If you have committed a Texas seat belt violation, and the court requires that you take an online seat belt course, you can do that with TexasDriveSafe.com too!

If you are not sure whether to take the seat belt or defensive driving course, we recommend that you contact the court. Texas courts have the authority to allow a driver to attend a defensive driving course for seat belt violations in the majority of situations, so it is best to double check before registering.

Obtaining Permission from a Texas Court

If you decide that you would like to avoid points and keep your driving record as clean as possible by taking a defensive driving course, we recommend that you read the traffic ticket or other documentation provided by the law enforcement officer for specific instructions. Typically, your ticket will show a date that you must either appear in court to dispute the ticket OR notify them of your intention to take a defensive driving course or pay the full fine amount.

If you choose to take a defensive driving course, the following are the three main ways to notify the court:

Regardless of the method you choose to notify the court, the important thing is that you do so before the appearance date shown on your ticket. Once the court determines you are eligible, they will give you a new deadline date (typically 90 days) to complete a TEA approved driver safety course (also known as a defensive driving course) and return the completion certificate to the court. Sometimes the court may also require that you get a copy of your driving record which can be ordered online at www.texasonline.com
