| Ticket Dismissal |
 |
| You can get your ticket dismissed by completing a defensive driving program. |
| Am I Eligible? |
| Texas approves driving safety courses for individuals with out-of-state licenses, but you’ll need to contact the county and
Court where you got the ticket to see individual restrictions. |
| Ask these questions to find out if you’re eligible and what you need to provide to the court: |
|
 |
Can only licensed Texas drivers take a Defensive Driving course to dismiss a ticket? |
|
If an out of state licensee can take a defensive driving course to dismiss a ticket, can I take the course online with a Texas approved traffic school? |
|
What documentation does the
Court need to proceed with this? Any kind of driving record? Copy of the driver’s license? Citation information? |
|
| Fees |
| You must request defensive driving for the violation shown on your citation. You will also pay a fee to the
Court for permission to take defensive driving.
Note this fee is separate from the fee you pay the defensive driving school. |
