If you were operating a motorcycle, you must take a specialized motorcycle operator training course. The request to take a driver safety course must be submitted to the court within 15 calendar days of the date the offense occurred.

In order to be eligible to take a driver safety course, you must not have taken a driver safety course for a ticket in the last 12 months. You will be required to enter a plea, provide a copy of a valid Texas driver’s license and valid proof of financial responsibility (liability insurance), request a certified copy of your driving record from DPS, return your notarized DSC Affidavit and you must pay the fee of $144.00 ($169.00 if offense occurred in a school zone).
