IF YOU WANT TO REQUEST DEFENSIVE DRIVING:
In order to use defensive driving to satisfy your citation, you MUST:
• Have a Texas driver license. (Commercial Driver's with CDL's DO NOT qualify for defensive driving, whether driving either a commercial vehicle, a personal vehicle or a motorcycle).
• Certify that you have not taken the course in the previous 12 months for the purpose of ticket dismissal; and
• Have not have been cited for a speed of 25 mph or more than the legal speed limit or for 95 mph or more over the speed limit.
If you have received a citation and prefer to request Defensive Driving, you MUST submit the following items to our Court, on or before your appearance date by certified mail:
* 1. A completed reply form - signed, dated & notarized. (You can find a copy of this reply form above by clicking "Courtesy Letter Page 1").
* 2. Proof of your valid Texas liability Insurance.
* 3. A copy of your citation.
* 4. A self-addressed, stamped envelope. (This is an envelope that you address to yourself & put a stamp on.)
* 5. A copy of your valid Texas driver's license.

Some things to note with the defensive driving option:
You CANNOT take the course before you receive permission from the Court. This means all of the above information needs to be submitted to the Court BEFORE you take the class or sign up. After the Court gives you the permission to use the Defensive Driving option to satisfy your citation, you have 90 days to complete your course and submit your proof of completion. If you fail to meet the 90 day deadline, a WARRANT for your arrest may be issued and your driver license renewal may be denied.
DEFERRED PROBATION:
If you would like to request Deferred Probation for your citation, your request MUST be submitted in writing. For your convenience, the Court has a form for you to fill out and submit.
