Defensive driving for a Dallas Municipal Court ticket

For a City of Dallas citation, the request goes to the Dallas Municipal Court online, by mail or in person. You may not start the class until the court approves you.

When to ask

As early as you can. The court says the amount may increase, or the option may no longer be available, after 21 days.

The court decides. We are a course provider, not the court.

Who the court says can ask

  • Not if you completed a course in the 12 months before the offense
  • Not for 25 mph or more over the limit, or 95 mph or more
  • Not for commercial driver license holders, even in a personal vehicle
  • Not for construction zones with workers present, passing a stopped school bus or leaving the scene
  • A valid Texas license or permit and insurance that lists you as a driver. Out-of-state licenses are not accepted
