Before you register
Your court decides who may take a course to dismiss a ticket. These three checks cover what to settle before you register.
Tell the court you intend to take a defensive driving (driver safety) course, pay any required court fee, and get permission to complete it. Courts typically allow about 90 days to finish the course and turn in your certificate.
If you already took a course for another ticket within the last 12 months, it may affect your eligibility—but not always. Your court can confirm whether you can still take the course.
Drivers with a license from another state are often given permission by Texas courts to take the course, so the ticket doesn't end up on their home state driving record.

Read our reviewsMore than ticket dismissal
Ticket dismissal is the reason most people register—but it isn’t the only benefit. Many Texas insurance companies offer a premium discount to drivers who voluntarily complete a state approved defensive driving course.
Your completion certificate is usually all your insurer needs. Ask your provider about their discount before you finish, and you could keep saving long after the ticket is behind you.
Yes, you get both. The TDLR ticket dismissal certificate comes with two parts: a ticket portion you turn in to the court, and an insurance portion you give to your insurer. One course, one certificate, both benefits.
One platform
Choose the course that fits your next step, then learn online at your own pace.

“This is far and away the best defensive driving course I have ever taken, in that I learned so much from the course itself. Totally thorough! Presented clearly! Easy to understand and remember!”

Contact SupportEligibility is decided by the court, not by us. First, tell the court you intend to take a defensive driving (driver safety) course, pay any required court fee, and get permission to complete it—courts typically allow about 90 days to finish and submit your certificate. If you took a course for another ticket in the past 12 months, that may affect your eligibility, but not always. You also do not need a Texas driver license: Texas courts often give out-of-state drivers permission so the ticket stays off their home state driving record.
Yes. Our Texas defensive driving course is approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), course provider number CP-090—and TDLR approval is what makes it acceptable by all Texas courts for ticket dismissal. If your court has any special instructions, follow those when you submit your certificate.
The course is 6 hours, as required by the state of Texas. Because it is online and self-paced, you can spread those hours over as many sessions as you like—log in and out whenever it suits your schedule.
Only $25, which is the lowest price allowed by Texas law. That includes the full state approved course and a free downloadable completion certificate—there are no hidden fees at checkout.
Immediately. As soon as you successfully complete the course, your certificate is prepared as a PDF you can download, print, or save. You then turn it in to the court, your insurance company, or your employer, depending on why you took the course.
Many Texas insurance companies offer a discount to drivers who voluntarily complete a state approved defensive driving course. Check with your insurance provider—your completion certificate is usually all they need.
You can fail the course by missing identity validation questions or by not passing the unit quizzes. If that happens, state rules require you to start the course over—but we don't require you to pay again.
