Our goal is to provide a one stop online source for Texas drivers looking for defensive driving information, TX DPS links, and local driving topics and resources. Check back often as we plan to add new pages to our site on a daily basis.
Defensive Driving ExplainedThere are hundreds of driving schools in Texas permitted to teach a 6-hour defensive driving safety class to licensed TX drivers. Some of these classes are offered online (the Internet), on DVD, or even in a classroom setting. Successful completion of a Texas approved defensive driving class will entitle drivers to an official certificate that Texas courts may honor towards dismissing a traffic ticket (if issued in Texas). Additionally, when you present the course completion certificate to your TX insurance agent, most reputable companies will give you a 10% discount on the liability portion of your auto insurance for up to 3 years. Texas Approved Safety CoursesTEA (Texas Education Agency) approves which defensive driving courses, like the one offered by TexasDefensiveDriving.com, are legitimate and may be used to dismiss a traffic ticket. By Texas law, all driving safety programs must be at least 6 hours long (whether online or in a classroom), and students must complete all six-hours of the program in order to receive a certificate of completion. If you take the TEA safety course online, your progress will be timed to insure you meet the 6 hour requirement. If you take a classroom course, those sessions are proctored by a licensed instructor, and they will consist of either six continuous hours or two three hour sessions. TX Traffic Ticket Dismissal RulesHow often can you take a safety course for ticket erasure? Texas state law allows drivers to dismiss 1 traffic ticket every twelve months by taking a TEA approved defensive driving safety course. Furthermore, TX law requires the following: Most traffic courts want you to contact the court BEFORE you take a defensive-driving-safety-course to dismiss a ticket. You MUST get the court's permission before starting your defensive driving class. By contacting the court that is stated on your trafficticket, you can help prevent unneeded delays, additional expenses, or a requirement that you take the course again. A certificate of completion can't be saved and used in the future for a later traffic citation. Always complete the defensive driving safety course AFTER the traffic violation, and the court can only dismiss 1 charge for each course completion (every 12 months). If the Texas municipal court charges a court fee for you to take a defensive safety course, and if they force you to provide a copy of your driving record from the TX Department of Public Safety (TXDPS), those additional fees are not to be included in the price that you will pay for the driving safety course tuition.
