Baytown Texas Defensive Driving Course
If you get charged with a traffic offense, you may be eligible to ask the Baytown Municipal Court judge to take a driving safety course (DSC) to dismiss the charge. The request must be made on or before the appearance date on the citation. It may be made either orally or in writing. If you were operating a motorcycle, you must take a motorcycle operator course (MOC). If you were the driver charged with not wearing a safety belt or transporting a child not in a safety belt or child passenger safety seat system, you must take a driving safety course that has four hours of instruction about seat belts and child passenger safety seat systems.
At the time of the request, you must do the following:
- Present proof of financial responsibility (liability insurance);
- Present proof of a valid Texas DL or permit;
- Plead guilty or no contest; and
- Pay court costs and an administrative fee.
The case will be postponed for 90 days to allow you time to complete the course. You must attend a driving safety course that has been approved by the Texas Education Agency or a motorcycle operator’s course approved by the Department of Public Safety.
Take defensive driving instead of probation. Opting for deferred adjudication or agreeing to defer traffic ticket fines by taking probation will cost a great deal more than simply taking the defensive driving. The fees involved in accepting the deferral terms cost more than the fees associated with defensive driving. Many Municipal Courts and County Precinct JP Courts may offer deferred right up front, without explaining the difference between defensive driving and deferred ticket fines. First of all, the fees for taking a one year deferral sentence or fine for a speeding cost almost twice that of defensive driving fees that the court charges. The city and court get to keep those fees, because much of the defensive driving fees shift to the state and the city keeps less of the fee proceeds. That’s all fine and well for the local traffic ticket recipient, except that it cost that traffic ticket violation ticket holder MUCH more. It’s certainly pays to take defensive driving up front. THEN you can also get your insurance premiums lowered for taking a defensive driving course!
