# What Texas CDL Drivers Should Know Before Taking Defensive Driving

Commercial drivers in Texas face stricter rules than most motorists, so a ticket can carry extra weight for a CDL holder. Before choosing a course, a CDL driver should check with the court, the Texas Department of Public Safety and their employer, because eligibility for ticket dismissal and the effect on a commercial record are not the same as for a standard licence. A state-approved defensive driving course still teaches Texas traffic law, hazard awareness, space management and crash prevention, and it can be a useful refresher even when dismissal is not available.

Ticket Dismissal Texas is a TDLR-approved provider, CP206, at 5015 De Zavala Rd Ste 102, San Antonio, TX 78249.
