--- What Is Ticket Dismissal?
Ticket dismissal in Texas means your traffic violation is removed from your record — as if it never happened. Rather than paying the fine and accepting a conviction, you complete a TDLR-approved defensive driving course and submit your certificate to the court. The court then dismisses the charge.
Texas law allows one moving violation dismissal every 12 months using this method. For most Texas drivers, it is the smarter financial and legal choice over simply paying the ticket fine.
The violation is dismissed — not recorded as a conviction on your Texas driving record.
Without a conviction, your insurance company cannot raise your premium for this violation.
Moving violation points that would affect your Texas driving record are avoided entirely.
Our 6-hour Texas defensive driving course covers real-world safety techniques that reduce accident risk.
--- Step-by-Step Process
Texas defensive driving ticket dismissal follows a clear process under the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Our TDLR Provider CP206 course is accepted at every stage. Here is exactly what to do:
Contact the court listed on your citation on or before your scheduled appearance date. Plead guilty or no contest to the violation and request permission to complete a TDLR-approved defensive driving course for ticket dismissal. Ask the court about required affidavit forms and confirm the exact deadline.
⏰ 90-Day Deadline: Most Texas courts set a deadline of approximately 90 days from your plea date. Do not miss this deadline — if you do, you lose your right to dismiss the ticket through defensive driving.
Immediately after getting court permission, order your Type 3A certified driving record from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Most Texas courts require this as part of your ticket dismissal submission. Ordering early gives you time to receive it before your court deadline — processing typically takes 2–5 days.
📄 Do This Now: Order your Type 3A driving record at the same time as enrolling in the course. Do not wait until you finish the course — the record takes time to arrive from Texas DPS.

--- Required Documents
When you submit your ticket dismissal request to a Texas court, you will typically need two documents. Make sure both are ready before your court deadline:
Your official certificate of completion from our TDLR-approved defensive driving course (Provider CP206). This is emailed to you instantly the moment you finish the course. It includes your name, completion date, and our TDLR Provider License number CP206 — all courts need this information.
You receive this automatically. Print it or use the digital PDF.
A Type 3A certified driving record from the Texas Department of Public Safety shows your official Texas driving history. Most Texas courts require this to confirm you have not used defensive driving for dismissal in the past 12 months and that your license is valid.
Order from the Texas DPS website. Processing typically takes 2–5 business days.
Some courts also require a signed affidavit. Always confirm exact requirements with your specific court when you request permission.

Most Texas courts give you approximately 90 days from your plea date to complete the defensive driving course and submit your documents. This deadline varies by court — always confirm the exact deadline when you request permission. Do not wait: enroll immediately after getting court approval.
