Court-Accepted Defensive Driving — For Half the Price
Every TDLR-approved defensive driving course dismisses your ticket the same way. The real differences are price, format, and support. We start at $25 — about half what the big national brands charge.
Starting at Just $25
Our online course is $25 — roughly half of what leading national online courses charge ($49–$59). Same court-accepted result at half the price.
Three Ways to Take It
Online self-paced, live virtual class, or in-person at a Texas branch. National online-only courses can't offer that — you pick what fits your schedule.
Real Texas Company, Real Support
4 physical Texas locations and real people you can call. Not a faceless national website — we've served Texas drivers for years.
How to Dismiss Your Texas Ticket in 4 Steps
Get court permission, complete the 6-hour online course, and submit your certificate. That is it.
1. Get Permission From Your Court
Before you start, confirm with the court on your citation that you're eligible for defensive driving dismissal. Most courts require a request, your driver license, proof of insurance, and a small court fee.
2. Enroll With Drive Safe (from $25)
Pick your format — online, online-live, or in-person — and sign up in minutes. The course is the 6-hour TDLR-approved program (License CP1014).
3. Finish Before Your Court Deadline
Your court sets a deadline to submit your certificate. The course takes about 6 hours total — go at your own pace online, but don't miss the date on your citation.
4. Submit Your Certificate to the Court
Download your certificate instantly when you finish, then submit it to your court. Your ticket is dismissed and points stay off your record.

Are You Eligible to Dismiss Your Ticket?
Texas law allows most eligible drivers to dismiss one ticket every 12 months by completing a defensive driving course. You generally qualify if all four of these apply to you. Always confirm eligibility with your specific court — rules can vary by jurisdiction.
Valid Texas Driver License — Texas Violation Only
Valid Texas license required. Ticket must be from a Texas court — out-of-state violations are not eligible.
No Course in the Past 12 Months
Texas allows ticket dismissal via defensive driving once every 12 months.
Not a CDL Holder
Commercial driver license (CDL) holders are not eligible for ticket dismissal via this course.
Not Cited 25+ mph Over the Limit
Citations for excessive speeding (25+ mph over) or certain serious violations are not eligible.
Dismiss the Ticket — And Lower Your Insurance Too
A defensive driving course in Texas doesn't just clear a ticket. Most insurance providers offer up to a 10% discount on your premium for completing a state-approved course — so the course can pay for itself. Ask your provider whether they offer a defensive driving discount.
What You'll Learn — 6-Hour TDLR-Approved Course
The course covers everything Texas requires, in plain, easy-to-follow lessons:
- Texas traffic laws and your responsibilities as a driver
- Defensive driving techniques and crash prevention
- Recognizing and responding to road hazards
- The real impact of distracted driving, fatigue, and alcohol
- Handling emergency situations on the road
- Right-of-way, signs, signals, and safe speed management
Short quizzes at the end of each section keep you on track — no final exam — just quick section checks you can retake. Free read-along audio is included so you can listen instead of read.
