Texas Defensive Driving Required Paperwork

The paperwork you will need for Texas Defensive Driving

According to the City of Houston's website, a person must submit the following to the court in order to dismiss their traffic citation with a Texas defensive driving course: a certificate of completion from the texas defensive driving school where you took the course, a certified copy of your driving record, and a signed and notarized Texas Driver's Safety Course affidavit. Listed below is how you can obtain these forms.

Once you've completed a defensive driving course and passed the test, a certificate of completion will be mailed to you. You'll receive two copies: An insurance copy and a court copy. The court copy is the copy you'll need to sign and submit to the court.

In order to obtain a copy of your driving record, you can order it by mail by printing and mailing an application for copy of a driver record found at http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/InternetForms/Forms/DR-1.pdf. Delivery takes two to three weeks. You can also order your driving record online at www.texasonline.com. You'll need to request record type 3A.

The affidavit you'll need to get notarized and submit to the court can be found at http://www.houstontx.gov/courts/forms/DSC-Affidavit.pdf. At Comedy Driving, we have several members of staff who are licensed to notarize your affidavit for a fee of $5.
