If you plan to use the course for ticket dismissal, you must first receive notice from the Texas court system that you are eligible to take a defensive driving course to dismiss the ticket. You will still be responsible for paying any fines and fees related to the ticket.

Texas assigns points to your license for moving violations. Completing this course can help you avoid points and keep your driving record clean.
In the Texas point system, points are added to a person’s driving record for moving violations categorized as Class C misdemeanors. If a driver accumulates six or more points within three years, the Department of Public Safety imposes surcharges. The surcharge is $100 for the first six points, with an additional $25 charged for each point beyond that, along with associated service fees.
The course costs $25, plus $3 in mandatory fees that are paid to the State of Texas. Although often not advertised, these mandatory fees are required by the State of Texas for all driving safety courses administered within the state. We are committed to providing you the best service for the best value and will not charge unnecessary fees.
Sec. 1001.352. FEES FOR DRIVING SAFETY COURSE. A driving safety provider shall charge each student: (1) at least $25 for a driving safety course; and (2) a fee of at least $3 for course materials and for supervising and administering the course.
Once you complete the course including passing the final test with a score of 70% or higher, you will be redirected to a form.

We believe this should be the standard for you. Check your junk/spam mail if you don’t see it within five minutes.
