Texas Course

Out-of-State Students

Ticket Dismissal

You can get your ticket dismissed by completing a defensive driving program.

Am I Eligible?

Texas approves driving safety courses for individuals with out-of-state licenses, but you’ll need to contact the county and Court where you got the ticket to see individual restrictions.

Ask these questions to find out if you’re eligible and what you need to provide to the court:

  • Can only licensed Texas drivers take a Defensive Driving course to dismiss a ticket?
  • If an out of state licensee can take a defensive driving course to dismiss a ticket, can I take the course online with a Texas approved traffic school?
  • What documentation does the Court need to proceed with this? Any kind of driving record? Copy of the driver’s license? Citation information?

Fees

You must request defensive driving for the violation shown on your citation. You will also pay a fee to the Court for permission to take defensive driving. Note this fee is separate from the fee you pay the defensive driving school.
