A MESSAGE FOR TEXAS DRIVERS

Traffic collisions in Texas annually take the lives of thousands of people and cause billions of dollars in economic losses. Death, injuries, and property damage have to be reduced, and drivers must improve their attitudes and skills. It is particularly important that Texas citizens identify and implement all reasonable means to reduce human suffering and property loss that result from vehicle collisions. To those ends, this driving safety course is intended to improve your knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes about driving.

By law, all driving safety classes must cost at least $25 and must be six hours in length in order to dismiss a traffic citation. You’ll be signing a statement on your Certificate of Course Completion that you have completed the entire six-hour driving safety course. If you sign this statement falsely, you could be charged with tampering with a government document, and the penalty for tampering with a government document is two to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

During this course, you will be asked to complete a Student Information Form. It is very important that this information be accurate and readable because it will be used to create your downloadable course completion certificate. Your certificate will be in PDF Format, State Approved and downloadable from within your account. We do NOT mail certificates to students, nor the court. On another part of the Student Information Form, you will need to identify the court that has jurisdiction of your case. Please be specific. Selecting “JP” or “Municipal” is not sufficient. The court information that you provide will be printed on your course completion certificate. It must be accurate.

Remember… the court needs the course completion certificate that you receive from your account – not your payment receipt.

Finally, if you leave here believing that this course did not provide you with accurate information that will improve your knowledge, procedures, and attitudes about driving, please inform TDLR.

By working together to change our way of thinking, attitudes, and skills, we can make Texas roads and highways a safer place to drive.
