Driver’s Safety Course

Driver’s Safety – What can I do to help my Driving Record?
If you are 25+ years of age – do not possess a Commercial Drivers License – and have not committed any of the following offenses:
-Fail to give information at an accident
-Leaving the scene of an accident
-Illegal Passing of a School Bus
-Offenses occurred while driving a commercial vehicle

Your violation can be dismissed by paying an Administrative Fee of $144.00 to the Honey Grove Municipal Court.

If you are under 25 years old, do not have a Commercial Driver’s License and you are charged with a moving violation, the state requires you to take a Driver’s Safety Course that has been approved by the Texas Education Agency,

In order to be eligible for dismissal, you must NOT have committed any of the following offenses:

Provide a Valid Texas Driver’s License or an Active Duty Military ID (Form of ID must not be expired)

Step 3:

Complete a Driver’s Safety Course within 90 days of Court Appearance
The completion of a Driver’s Safety Course is REQUIRED by the State of Texas. (Driver’s Safety Course must be approved by the Texas Education Agency.) Most Driver’s Safety Courses can be found online.

**Failure to Complete Driver’s Safety Course**
If you fail to take the required course in the 90 days following your appearance – or if you fail to deliver the required documents to the court, the court can/will schedule a Show Cause hearing. The Show Cause hearing will provide you an opportunity to explain why you failed to complete your responsibilities. The judge may, but is not required to, allow you to file the proper documentation at that time. If you do not appear to your Show Cause hearing, additional fines can/will be assessed and a warrant for your arrest can/will be posted.
