Get Your Ticket Dismissed

A TDLR-licensed traffic school course is Texas's legally recognized path to ticket dismissal. Once the court receives your certificate and driving record, the citation is dismissed. There is no conviction, no points, and no basis for your insurer to raise your rate. Court approval before enrolling is required. Review Texas speeding ticket fines to understand the full cost of a conviction before your court date.

Keep Points Off Your Record

Texas assigns 2 points per moving violation conviction and 3 points if the violation caused an accident. Points accumulate and trigger both state surcharges and insurance premium increases. Traffic school dismissal prevents those points from ever appearing on your record, protecting your driving history and your wallet simultaneously.

Earn an Insurance Discount

Complete the course voluntarily and most Texas carriers will apply an insurance 2-10% discount to your auto policy for up to three years. Austin auto insurance rates have risen significantly alongside the city's growth. The discount typically applies for up to three years, subject to your carrier's terms. GEICO customers can visit the GEICO Texas discount page for carrier-specific details.

Texas Transportation Code provisions, City of Austin traffic ordinances, right-of-way rules, school and university zone speed requirements, and the regulations governing Austin's freeway, managed lane, and surface street network, including the tolled express lanes on MoPac and SH-183.

I-35 through Austin is one of the most discussed and studied urban freeway failures in the country. Its chronic congestion, narrowed urban core segment, and the complex interaction of local commuter traffic, interstate through-trucks, and UT campus-area merges create a road environment that tests every driver who uses it daily. This module covers maintaining safe following distances in stop-and-go freeway conditions, safe lane selection through compressed segments, and managing the abrupt speed transitions that occur as I-35 flows from open freeway conditions to gridlock and back within the span of a single mile.

Austin's large technology industry workforce and its dense university population create a driving environment with above-average smartphone and in-vehicle technology engagement. Texas's hands-free law, the full cost of visual, manual, and cognitive distraction, and practical techniques for managing navigation apps on Austin's complex and rapidly changing road network are all addressed directly in this module.

Austin's perpetual construction activity on I-35, MoPac, US-290, and dozens of expanding surface arterials, creates sustained construction zone hazard exposure for the city's drivers. The heightened penalties for speeding and reckless driving in Texas construction zones where workers are present, the specific hazards of compressed lane configurations and shifting traffic patterns, and strategies for managing construction-related congestion frustration are all covered.

Texas DWI law, the real impairment timeline of alcohol and cannabis, and the legal and financial consequences of a DWI conviction in Travis County. Austin's entertainment districts, including Sixth Street, Rainey Street, and the Domain, generate significant impaired driving exposure for the city's drivers, particularly on weekend evenings.

Austin sits on the edge of the Balcones Escarpment and the Edwards Plateau, making it one of the most flash-flood-prone cities in Texas. Barton Creek, Shoal Creek, Waller Creek, and the Colorado River tributaries throughout Travis County can rise rapidly during heavy rainfall events. This module covers Turn Around Don't Drown protocols, recognizing flooded low-water crossings on Austin's extensive creek road network, hydroplaning prevention, and driving safely in the sudden severe weather that Central Texas produces throughout the year.

Austin Drivers with Pending Traffic Tickets

If you received a citation from Austin PD, a Travis County Sheriff deputy, or a DPS trooper anywhere in Travis County, traffic school with court approval is the cleanest path to dismissal. Review Texas speeding ticket fines before your court date to understand what a conviction would cost you.

University of Texas Students and Campus-Area Drivers

UT Austin's 50,000-plus students represent one of the largest concentrations of young, relatively inexperienced drivers in Texas. Many are navigating Austin's complex road network for the first time, often in unfamiliar vehicles, while managing the cognitive load of academic life. This course builds the specific habits most critical for this demographic and provides a path to clear any citation before it affects insurance rates on a parent's policy.

Tech Industry Commuters

Austin's technology sector, anchored by Apple, Tesla, Dell, Samsung, and dozens of other major employers in the Domain, North Austin, and the Arboretum corridor, generates enormous daily commuter volumes on MoPac, US-183, and the Parmer Lane corridor. High-frequency freeway commuters accumulate citation exposure at above-average rates.

New Austin Residents

Austin has been among the top US cities for inbound relocation for years. Drivers arriving from California, Colorado, Illinois, and other states may be unfamiliar with Texas traffic law, Travis County court procedures, and Austin's specific enforcement patterns. The Texas Driver Resources hub is a useful starting point for new arrivals.

Drivers Seeking an Insurance Discount

No ticket? Take the course voluntarily. Austin auto insurance premiums have risen with the city's growth and its claims environment. An insurance 2-10% discount may apply for up to three years, subject to your carrier's terms. Browse all insurance discount options or visit the GEICO Texas page for GEICO-specific details.

Rideshare and Delivery Drivers

Austin's entertainment economy, its university population, and its dense tech corridor generate enormous rideshare and delivery demand. Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and delivery platform drivers operating in Austin log far more miles than average residents, amplifying both citation exposure and the value of maintaining a clean record.

I-35 is Austin's defining road challenge. Its urban core segment from US-290 south of downtown to US-183 north carries a daily traffic load that far exceeds its capacity, producing the stop-and-go conditions that generate both rear-end collisions and the speed violations that occur as frustrated drivers exploit any available gap in moving traffic. DPS troopers actively enforce on I-35 throughout Travis County, and the ongoing I-35 Capital Express project has added construction zone hazards to an already demanding corridor.

MoPac runs north-south through western Austin, parallel to I-35, and serves as the primary alternative freeway route for drivers avoiding I-35 congestion. Its tolled express lanes, tight curves near the Barton Creek area, and high-volume interchanges at US-183, SH-360, and US-290 create a demanding freeway environment. DPS enforcement is consistent along the MoPac corridor, particularly at the southern transitions where posted speeds change.

SH-183 runs diagonally across north and northeast Travis County, connecting the airport, the Domain, and the tech corridor along Research Boulevard and Anderson Lane. Its complex geometry through the Rundberg and North Lamar intersections and its high commercial traffic volumes between the airport and the US-183A tollway junction make it one of Austin's most citation-active surface freeway corridors.

US-290 east runs through the rapidly developing East Austin and Manor corridors, carrying a mix of residential, commercial, and through-traffic that is growing faster than its infrastructure can absorb. US-290 west toward Oak Hill and Dripping Springs is one of Austin's most chronically congested surface arterials, where speed violations occur both in the congested urban segment and in the faster rural transition west of the Y at Oak Hill.

Loop 360 serves the affluent West Austin communities of Westlake Hills, Rollingwood, and Bee Cave. Its high posted speeds, sweeping curves through the Hill Country terrain, and the abrupt sight-line limitations at several key intersections make it one of Austin's most technically demanding surface roads. Speeding violations and unsafe lane change citations are consistent on this corridor.

Austin's entertainment districts generate dense late-night pedestrian and vehicle activity, with rideshare pickup zones, jaywalking pedestrians, and impaired driving enforcement concentrated in the Sixth Street, Red River, and Rainey Street corridors on Thursday through Sunday evenings. Austin PD maintains active enforcement in these areas throughout entertainment hours.
