Dealing with a Texas Traffic Ticket

The citation the officer issues you at the time you get a ticket is usually yellow in color and contains information about your ticket. This information includes the nature of the violation (speeding, etc.), the citation number, and the court to which your case is assigned. A few weeks later you will get a courtesy notice (usually white in color) that contains the instructions for dealing with your ticket.

In some cases, Travis County courts may allow for the dismissal of a "No Seatbelt Ticket" by taking a Driving Safety Course online.

The County of Travis has an excellent web site to help you.

If you are a juvenile (under 18 years old), you must first appear in a Travis County Court and be approved to sign up for a Driving Safety Course.

Keep Points Off Your Texas Driving Record

Quite honestly, the main reason most people take traffic school is to keep points off their record. Your insurance company bases its premium on the number of tickets you have (in addition to other factors). By taking traffic school, your insurance company will not see your traffic ticket. It is on your record but masked or hidden. Only police are able to see the ticket. This means your insurance rates will not go up because of the ticket.

Of course, another reason to take a defensive driving course is to refresh your driving knowledge or to become a better driver. We at Safe2Drive are in the business of traffic safety education. We believe traffic safety education is one way to improve the behavior of drivers on the road. Our aim is to help you become a better driver when you take our course.
