Driving Safety Courses(cont.)

 You will have 90 days from the date of the request to submit the certificate from the driving safety course as well as your driving record as maintained by the Texas DPS.  The driving safety course must be approved by the Texas Education Agency and a motorcycle operator’s course must be approved by the Department of Public Safety.   

If you do not take the course in the time required and/or fail to present the court with a certificate of completion, the court will notify you to return to court and explain why you failed to show proof of completion.  Your failure to be present at that hearing will result in a warrant for your arrest being issued.  An additional charge may also be filed.

Requesting a Drivers Safety Course through the mail

In order to request it by mail, you must complete a Request for Drivers Safety form, and mail it to Haltom City Municipal Court, 5024 Broadway Ave., Haltom City, TX 76117 along with ALL of the following:
1. A copy of your drivers license (you will not be eligible if you hold a commercial license).
2. A copy of your automobile insurance (the policy must be in your name or you must be a listed driver).
3. A check or money order payable to Haltom City Municipal Court totaling $112 for violations not occuring in a school zone and $137 for violations in a school zone.

YOUR REQUEST MUST BE RECEIVED BY YOUR SCHEDULED APPEARANCE DATE.  ONCE YOU ARE APPROVED BY THE MUNICIPAL COURT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION LETTER.  DO NOT TAKE A DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE CONFIRMATION LETTER FROM THE COURT OR YOU WILL BE 
REQUIRED TO SEE THE JUDGE.

FAILURE TO ENCLOSE ALL INFORMATION WILL RESULT IN A DENIAL FOR THE COURSE.
