Houston Defensive Driving Online
Want a great way to dismiss your Texas speeding ticket or other moving violation? Instead of having to schedule an appointment on a weekend and drive to a class that's far away from where you live or work, you can take your Houston traffic school course on the Internet. Taking your course on the web means that you can work on the course a little bit at a time or complete it all at once -- it's your choice!
By taking our Texas Education Agency (TEA) approved 6-hour driving safety course, you can be sure that you will receive a certificate acceptable to the court and the State. Not only is your certificate good for ticket dismissal, it can also be used to get a discount off your auto insurance premium (up to 10%)! Be sure to check with your auto insurance company first to make sure they will honor a discount for attending a Texas defensive driving program.
Taking this Houston defensive driving course for ticket dismissal
If you wish to take the online defensive driving course in order to get a Houston speeding ticket or other traffic citation dismissed, you should notify the court that this is your intention. The court will then enter a judgment on your plea of no contest or guilty at the time the plea is made. You will be given 90 days to complete the course. DTA's online defensive driving course is accepted by all Texas counties and jurisdictions.
What to do after you complete the Houston defensive driving course
After you complete the course, you will need to provide the court with a copy of 1) your completion certificate; and possibly 2) a certified copy of your driving record. To order a copy of your driving record, click here and follow the instructions on the page. Many courts will also require that you provide them with an affidavit stating that you were NOT already taking a defensive driving course when you made your request to the court, nor did you complete a defensive driving course in the 12 months before the date of your offense for another ticket dismissal.
About the Auto Insurance Discount
Most Texas drivers who take the defensive driving course can receive a discount of up to 10% on their automobile insurance premium. This discount applies even if you are taking your defensive driving course for ticket dismissal. The auto insurance discount remains in effect over a 3-year period. We suggest that you contact your automobile insurance provider before taking this defensive driving course to learn their procedures for obtaining your insurance discount.
Texas drivers may only take the defensive driving course for insurance discount purposes once every 36 months.
How you can get an additional 5% insurance discount
Texas Law (76[R] HB 3757) states that any Texas driver who completes a 6 hour DADAP course will automatically receive a 5% discount off his or her auto insurance premium. If you have already received a 10% Texas insurance discount for completing a 32-hour drivers ed course or a 6-hour defensive driving course, you can take DADAP for an additional 5%, resulting in a total insurance discount of 15%. If your policy is $1,000 a year, your total insurance savings would be $450 over a 3-year period!
Houston Driving Safety Course
Our online Houston traffic school course is a great option for Texans who live in the greater Houston area, including Pasadena, Sugar Land, Humble, Spring, South Houston, Pearland, Baytown, or Bellaire. For several years now, Driver Training Associates has been offering the research proven effective Program for Driver Improvement course on the web. This is great news for drivers with a traffic ticket (for speeding or other offenses) in Houston and outlying areas.
Just think, instead of having to call a driving safety school and try to match your busy schedule with theirs, you can simply click on a link and sign up for online traffic school that you can complete on your schedule. No paperwork to fill out, no fighting rush hour traffic, no getting lost looking for a school and worrying that you're going to be late. You'll save both time and gas money by not having to drive anywhere. We can't think of a better way for a person to complete Houston defensive driving.
Another great benefit to our online traffic school program is that you will not have to listen to a lecture. You can study the material at a reading speed that is comfortable for you, and log out if you need to take a break. Keep in mind, however, that not all Houston defensive driving programs are created equal. Our course has the most video of any online course on the market today. Most other courses force you to read several hours worth of monotonous material, breaking only occasionally for a one- or two-minute video clip.
If you're still not convinced that you should take Houston defensive driving online to get your ticket dismissed, ask yourself if you are better off trusting a local, nationally known company with an excellent reputation, or a fly-by-night school that has only been in existence for a few months. DTA has been teaching Texas drivers how to drive more safely for over three decades. We are sure that if you give our course a chance, you'll be satisfied with your decision.
