For $40 I got my 4 hour driver course handled and guaranteed that the certification would be sent in to the state of Florida. Not to mention, they guarantee our satisfaction or money back... It was a no brainer!

Excellent course. 4 hours is a lot when you have to do something completely unfair. But it was good to refresh knowledge and pass the test.

So happy that I choose Highway Traffic School, they made the process super easy and fast! Getting a ticket was my fault and I am grateful that this school made it possible to avoid points. They submitted my passing certificate and I did not have to mail or submit anything. I am very grateful for our Law Enforcement for all they do every day!

FAQ's

Popular Texas Defensive Driving Questions

General Information & Eligibility

Do all courts in Texas accept your course?

Yes. We are certified and licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to offer our course in all Texas courts for ticket dismissal. Our course can also be used for insurance discounts.

You may check our certification by visiting the Texas TDLR website.

See a copy of our Texas License # CP994.

How do I know if I am eligible to attend Texas Defensive Driving?

In Texas, you can attend traffic school for ticket dismissal if you have not attended a defensive driving course for a violation in the past 12 months. Remember that eligibility is based on the violation date of the ticket, not court extensions or when you completed the last course.

You are NOT eligible to attend a driving safety course if:

  • You have a commercial driver's license.
  • You received a ticket in a construction zone.
  • Your speeding ticket exceeds 25 MPH over the posted speed limit.
  • You do not have car insurance at the time of the ticket.
  • You left the scene of an accident — hit and run.
  • You received a passing school bus violation.

When you pay your fine at the court assigned to your case, ask if you are eligible for traffic school. If you are approved, the court will let you know. Make sure to request traffic school when you speak with the court, as this is typically not something that can be added later. In addition, by taking a defensive driving course, you can keep your driving record clean and avoid potential increases in your insurance rates. So, if you're eligible, it's worth taking advantage of this option.

IMPORTANT: Not obtaining permission to attend a defensive driving course beforehand may result in the court rejecting your traffic school completion.

Is the Highway Traffic School Website secure?

Highway Traffic School uses state-of-the-art security technology to secure your personal and credit card information! Whenever you submit personal information on our website, it is encrypted via "Hypertext Transfer Protocol" (HTTP) with "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) as it travels to and from our servers. In addition, we do not store your credit card information or share your personal information with anybody.

Your information is only used to generate your certificate of completion for the Texas Courts.

About the Course

How soon can I start the Texas Defensive Driving course?

You will have immediate access to your online course once you complete registration and payment. However, you must ensure you have paid your fines to the court and have permission from the court to attend traffic school before registering and taking the course. Also, you must complete the course before the due date provided to you by the court.

How long does it take to complete the Texas Driving Safety course?

The Driving Safety course will take approximately 6 hours to complete. Texas state law requires all Driving Safety courses to have 6 hours of instruction, regardless of the number of units or chapters.

But Highway Traffic School has designed the course so you can start and stop as often as you like. There are no limits on how many times you can log in and out. Our system will remember where you left off, so you can take the course at your own pace. There is no need to complete the course all at once unless you want to.

And you can enjoy taking our course on any internet-ready device from your computer, laptop, or smartphone.

What if I need more time to complete the Texas Defensive Driving Course?

If you haven't finished your traffic school course yet, it's not too late. You can contact the court and ask for an extension. This will give you more time to finish the course and provide the court with your certificate.

If your deadline has already passed, contact the court first. Most courts will not accept completions after your deadline has passed.

Will I need to verify my identity?

Yes, all schools are required by law to verify your identity. Highway Traffic School makes it easy, and you don't need to fill out any forms or answer any personal questions. We don't use any third-party databases to collect your personal information.

You will be asked to take a picture of your driver's license before starting the course. Throughout the course, you will be asked to take selfies at random to prove your identity. This is how we make sure you are the one taking the course. You can be assured that your information is 100% secure. We use AI technology that recognizes the face from your driver's license picture and matches it to the selfie you take.

We make the process very simple and user-friendly. You can easily use your smartphone to take your selfie picture even if you are taking your course on your laptop or desktop computer.

Pricing & Payment

How can I pay for the course?

You can pay for the course using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit or debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo. In addition, we also accept payment via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

What is the total price for the Texas 6-hour Defensive Driving Course?

Our 6-hour Defensive Driving Course is only $25.00. There are no additional charges; you will not see any other hidden fees. Your certificate of completion is included in this price. You may download a free copy of the certificate of your records immediately after completing the course.

There are no added processing fees. Therefore, $25.00 is the final total price.

Texas law requires all traffic schools to charge no less than $25.00 for traffic school.

Completion

Is there a final exam?

No. We've designed our course to be interactive and opted to test your knowledge by giving short 2-question quizzes at the end of each unit instead of a comprehensive final exam. With the unit quizzes, you can take the quizzes an unlimited number of times until you answer both questions correctly. This allows you to retain the information better, provides a better learning experience, and ensures you pass your course. We guarantee that you will pass your Texas Driving Safety course.

Do you send my certificate directly to the court?

No. You must sign your certificate of completion before turning it into the court. The court will not accept it without a signature.

However, we will electronically submit your completion to the Texas TDLR so that the court can verify the validity of your certificate of completion.

How fast will my certificate of completion be processed?

Once you complete your course, your certificate is available immediately for download. We will also email you a copy of your certificate. There is no longer a need to wait. We do not charge extra for this fast service.

It may take 2 to 5 business days before your court can validate your certificate on the Texas TDLR certificate system. You can check to see if your record has been added by selecting "Validate a Driving Safety Certificate" on the Texas TDLR website.

My certification has incorrect information on it. Can I get a new copy with the corrected information?

The certificate will have the information you enter when you complete the course. If you need to change something, please get in touch with our customer service so we can correct it. There is a $10 charge to resubmit your changes to the Texas TDLR and generate a new certificate.

How do I get a duplicate copy of my certificate of completion?

You can download, print, or save a copy of your certificate of completion directly from our website for no additional charge, and it is available immediately once you pass the final exam.

If you need a certified copy of your certificate of completion, you can purchase one from your course history page.

How do I get a copy of my Texas Driver's Record?

You can order an instantly downloadable copy of your Type 3A Driving Record directly from the Texas Department of Public Safety website for just $10.
