There is a difference between a Defensive Driving Houston, TX course and a driver-training course. A driver-training program is for people who want to get their license for the first time, or for people who let their license expire and need to get a new one. A defensive driving or driving safety course is for people who already have a valid Texas driver's license and want to either become better drivers and get a discount on their insurance for taking a defensive driving Houston, TX course or to get a ticket dismissed after they've gotten permission from the court to take our system.

In Houston, you'll find comedy defensive safety courses available across two mediums: 1. in a classroom environment with an instructor or 2. a course you can take online, which involves watching, and listening to animations and videos. Regardless of which medium you use, you have to spend a total of six hours on the Houston comedy course and pay at least $25 to take it. For automobile safety classes, there's no legal way around the time and minimum cost requirement. Houston, TX driving safety schools such as ours give you an added bonus to the classroom environment, which is the instructor is a comedian who will save you from an otherwise boring and frustrating lesson by getting you to laugh as much as possible during the duration of your Houston defensive driving course. During our online course, many of the animations and videos are written and designed to be funny so you'll be entertained while taking the program from the comfort of your own home, or sneaking it in while you're at work.

By Texas law, each Defensive Driving Houston provider must provide 5 hours of content and 1 hour worth of breaks for the automobile safety class, so you won't find a legitimate driving safety school or class shorter than that. However, in Houston, TX you can find state approved classes such as Comedy Driving's 5 area locations. You may find other schools, but it's likely their method will lack the “comedy” aspect of the class. Some Houston area defensive driving schools, whether they have instructors that will educate as well as entertain you or not, charge nearly $70 for a defensive automobile class. This is an additional, and separate, expense from the fines and fees you have to pay the court to hear and process your case.

Regardless of where and how you decide to take a defensive driving class, the Certificate of Completion that will be issued to you for passing a test at the end of the course can only be given to you through the mail. By law, schools and instructors are not allowed to physically give you a Ticket Dismissal Certificate of Completion by hand and you're not allowed to pick it up in person. It must be sent to you through the mail.
