# Taking Texas Defensive Driving Online for the First Time: A Simple Walkthrough

If you have never taken a defensive driving course before, doing it online for the first time can feel unfamiliar. The idea is simple: instead of sitting in a classroom, you work through the lessons on a computer or phone, at your own pace, and finish with a certificate you can give to the court if that is what the court asked for.

Ticket Dismissal Texas offers a TDLR-approved 6-hour online defensive driving course for $25, in English and Spanish, under TDLR Provider CP206. Before starting, check the instructions on your ticket and any court directions, because eligibility, deadlines, and what to submit afterward can vary by court. When defensive driving is an option, the usual order is to get court permission first, complete the approved course, and then send in the completion certificate within the court’s deadline.
