Skip to content Ticket on I-35, MoPac, or a downtown street? Skip the classroom and take the TDLR-approved 6-hour Driving Safety Course online for $25. Learn at your own pace and send your certificate to the court on your ticket.
Austin traffic is famous for good reason. I-35 through the middle of the city, MoPac at rush hour, and constant construction mean drivers often deal with sudden slowdowns and shifting lanes.
Downtown and around campus, you share the road with cyclists, scooters, and a lot of pedestrians. Our course focuses on the awareness that keeps you and everyone around you safe: scanning early, expecting the unexpected, and staying patient in traffic.
Which court handles your ticket?
Most tickets written by city police go to the municipal court. Check the court name printed on your citation.
Tickets from county deputies or state troopers often go to a JP court. The precinct is printed on your ticket.
Suburbs have their own courts and processes. Always contact the exact court on your citation.
The habits taught in the course, applied to the highways Austin drivers use every day.
Major reconstruction through the city. Expect lane shifts, closures, and sudden braking.
Rush-hour stop-and-go with express lanes. Choose your lane early and keep your gap.
Busy commuter route with new toll lanes. Watch for merging traffic at interchanges.
Airport traffic and visitors unfamiliar with the road. Give extra room and patience.
Curves and hills with changing sight lines. Keep speed in check on the bends.
Check mirrors and blind spots before turning, and give riders room when passing.
Slow down for workers and lane shifts. Work-zone offenses with workers present are taken seriously.
Festivals and game days crowd downtown. Plan routes and allow extra time.
Court permission comes first. Do not pay the fine before asking, because paying can close the dismissal option.
Request a Driving Safety Course on or before your appearance date. Note your deadline and required documents.
Six hours at your own pace from anywhere in Austin. Pause and resume on any device.
Issued on completion by the delivery option you chose at enrollment.
Send your certificate, any required driving record, and court fees before the deadline.
