20–24 mph over is not the same as 25 mph or more over
The current Texas driving-safety framework lists driving 25 mph or more over the posted limit among its exclusions. A lower alleged speed does not create automatic eligibility; the court and all other requirements still control.

Frequently asked questions about a speeding ticket in Allen
Does a speeding ticket in Allen automatically qualify for defensive driving?
No. Eligibility can depend on the allegation, speed, applicable history, license status, and court instructions.
Why does the alleged speed matter?
Article 45A.352 lists driving 25 mph or more over the posted limit among its exclusions. A lower speed does not guarantee the option.
Where can I find the exact amount?
Use the citation, the ticket lookup tools, and the court’s official source. This page does not publish an unverified local range.
Which court handles the citation?
Use the court printed on the citation. The Allen location by itself does not necessarily identify the correct jurisdiction.
Should I enroll before requesting the option?
Confirm the court process and answer date first. Enroll at the point required by the applicable instructions.
What if the citation lists more than one charge?
Multiple charges may require separate review. The court decides how the current framework applies to otherwise eligible charges from the same transaction.
