Driving Safety Course

Defensive Driving

Per state law, drivers licensed in Texas have the opportunity to take a driving safety course (DSC) once a year to dismiss certain types of traffic citations. You may take a DSC if:

• Your citation is for a “rules of the road” violation (for example, speeding, stop signs, red lights, and seat belts), for violating a warning sign or a barricade, or if you are 17 years old and younger and accused of most any violation of the Transportation Code
• You do not have a commercial driver’s license (CDL)
• You enter a plea of guilty or no contest and request DSC on or before the appearance date
• You have a valid Texas Class C driver’s license
• You have current insurance
• You have not taken DSC to have a citation dismissed in the year prior to the date of your citation
• You pay the DSC fee (instead of the price of the citation) of $100

How to Request

A DSC course can be requested by mail or in person at the court. 

City of Jacksboro - Municipal Court

Jacksboro, TX 76458

Please be sure to include your citation number on all correspondence with the court.
