Defensive Driving:

You may be able to require that your traffic citation be dismissed by successfully completing a driving safety course or a motorcycle operator-training course.  You are not allowed to take Defensive Driving if you are ticketed for passing a school bus. You will lose that right, if on or before your appearance date you do not provide the court with notice of your request to take the course.  Please complete the following affidavit and mail it to the Court along with proof of insurance and driver’s license:

 

REQUEST/AFFIDAVIT FOR DEFENSIVE DRIVING (EXAMPLE)

I hereby enter my plea of (circle one)  GUILTY / NO CONTEST to the offense, and request permission to take a Defensive Driving Course.

 

  1. I have not taken a Driver Safety Course within the last 12-month period.  It must have been a complete 12 months.

  2. I am not in the process of taking a Drivers Safety Course for another ticket in another Court.

  3. My ticket did not involve passing a school bus.

 

You must provide the Court with:

  1. Green Ticket or Copy of Ticket

  2. A copy of your VALID TEXAS Driver’s License and a copy of YOUR LIABILITY INSURANCE
  3. Pay $116.60 (Non-Refundable) court cost and administrative fee in the form of a personal check, money order or cashier’s check payable to JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, PCT. THREE

1. Cannot be going 95 MPH or more; or 25 mph or more over the posted speed limit.

If you hold a Commercial Drivers License

(Regardless if the violation occurred in your private vehicle)

2. Ticketed for passing a school bus

 

I understand that I have 90 days (no extensions) from the date of request to complete the Defensive Driving Course and send the ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE I am issued after completion of the course to the Court. Upon receipt of certificate and all fees have been paid the traffic citation will be dismissed.  If I fail to present the original certificate by the 90th day, I understand that a final conviction will be entered in my case and a fine will be imposed not to exceed $200.00 (or the maximum allowed by law).

I understand if I fail to comply and meet any court dates the case will proceed to a final conviction and a warrant will be issued for my arrest.
