Before you enroll

How Ticket Dismissal and Insurance Discounts Work

For a ticket, get permission from the court named on your citation before enrolling. Complete the licensed course, then return your certificate and any other required documents by the court's deadline. For an insurance discount, ask your insurer which course it accepts before you buy. Our Texas ticket-dismissal guide explains each step.

$25 course: court permission first.

$15 insurance course: insurance discounts only.

Course experience: video-based, mobile-friendly, no final exam.
