DRIVING SAFETY COURSES

If you have been charged with a moving violation, you may be eligible to attend a Driving Safety Course for the dismissal of that citation. A driving safety course is six hours in length and must be approved by the Texas Central Education Agency.


YOU ARE ELIGIBLE IF


You have not completed a Driving Safety Course for the dismissal of a ticket within the past 12 months from the date of your citation; You have a valid Texas Driver's License and it is NOT a commerical driver's license; You have proof of liability insurance or financial responsibility; You make an appearance at the court or mail in a request to attend a driving safety course within fourteen days; and you must not currently be signed up to attend a driving safety course for dismissal of another citation.


IN ADDITION


You will be required to pay the applicable court costs at the time you request to attend the Driving Safety Course. 

You will be required to order a copy of your driving record from the Texas Department of Public Safety, (There is a separate fee payable to the Texas Department of Public Safety to obtain a copy of your record.) We will provide you with an order form.

If you are charged with speeding 25 miles or more per hour over the posted limit or passing a school bus, you are not eligible to attend a Driving Safety Course.

You do not have to see a Judge to request to attend a Driving Safety Course. You may appear at the Cashier Window during our office hours to make your request.

You have 90 days to complete the driving safety course and to return to the court with an official driving safety course certificate and a copy of your driving record. Failure to return the required proof may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest and the imposition of a fine, court costs, and warrant fees.
