Request for Driver Safety Course 

Driver Safety Course (DSC) is a formal request to take a defensive driving course in order to have the citation dismissed, rather than paying a fine and having the citation go as a conviction on your driving record. 

The option is available if you hold a valid Texas Driver's License or permit ( YOU CANNOT HOLD A CDL) or a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty with an out of state driver's license AND show proof of financial responsibility (insurance). Request must be submitted on or before your appearance date. 

This option is NOT available if you are charged with speeding 25 mph or more above the posted speed limit or speeding 95 mph or more in any zone, if you hold a CDL, if you were charged with failing to stop and leave information or passing a school bus, have used this option to dismiss a citation in the last 12 months, or are charged for a violation occurring in a work zone with workers present. 

 Before completing this form you must go online and make a partial payment in the amount of $144.00. You will be required to submit proof of payment with this request. Please verifiy on your citation under Court Information which court your citation is in and select the correct court below.
