Yes. We are certified and licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to offer our course in all Texas courts for ticket dismissal. Our course can also be used for insurance discounts.

Per state law and TDLR regulations, our Defensive Driving course is designed to meet the 6-hour requirement. Each lesson has a timer to ensure you meet those requirements. You can log in and out as desired, with your progress being automatically saved.

In Texas, you can attend traffic school for ticket dismissal if you have not attended a defensive driving course for a violation in the past 12 months. This is based on the violation date of the ticket, not when you last completed a course.

When paying your fine at the court, ask if you're eligible for traffic school. If approved, the court will inform you. Be sure to request traffic school, as it often cannot be added later.

Yes! You don't pay until you pass. Start the course for free, and you'll only be asked to make a payment after you've successfully completed all course materials. This way, you can make sure the course works for you before making any financial commitment.

The course fee is $25, which you only pay after passing. Optional purchases include a Physical Certificate of Completion and Type 3A Driver Record for added convenience.
