Do I need a copy of my Texas driving record?
If you are taking this course to have your traffic ticket dismissed you will need a copy of your certified driving record. We provide you with the option of ordering a certified copy standalone, discounted with defensive driving or at the end of the course, which will be delivered to the email address you provide.
What happens if I do not complete the defensive driving course within 90 days?
Depending on your county, if you do not submit a certificate of completion for the course within 90 days you may be issued a court summons, assessed additional fines, or both. Contact the court in the county where you received your ticket to determine next steps if you were unable to complete the course in 90 days. If you do not follow up with the court, a warrant for your arrest may be issued.
We offer certificate expedite options when you purchase the course or upon course completion to help you comply with the 90 day deadline.
