Review General EligibilityOne course can address more than one eligible charge from the same transaction
The current law allows otherwise eligible charges from the same criminal transaction to be handled through one course under specified conditions. It does not make every charge eligible automatically; the court applies the rule to the case.
The certificate does not replace submission to the court
Follow the instructions for the certificate, driving record or other documents, delivery method, and deadline. Complete a final case-status check.
Use the court named on the citation
Municipal and justice courts can handle different matters and may share jurisdiction over certain lower-level offenses. Check the court name and answer date printed on the citation before paying, contesting the charge, or requesting defensive driving.
