What is Deferred Disposition?
In some cases, you may request deferred adjudication from the Court. If you have a good driving record, and you are not currently on deferred disposition, you may make a request to the Court. Deferred disposition means you will be placed on probation for a period ranging from 3 to 6 months and pay court costs and an administrative fee. Contact the court for more information at 281-238-1460.
Defendant's under the age of 25 requesting deferred disposition are required to take a mandatory Defensive Driving Course.
A defendant who is younger than 17 years of age must appear in Court with a parent, guardian, or managing conservator, to enter a plea.
If you successfully comply with the terms of your probation without receiving a moving violation anywhere in the State of Texas, the original charge will be dismissed. Conditions of deferred disposition may include: Defensive Driving, Alcohol or Tobacco Awareness, Community Service or any other program required by law or the Court.
Deferred disposition is not an option if your ticket was for speeding 25 miles per hour or more over the limit, or your ticket resulted from a traffic accident.
Can I Have My Case Dismissed Through Defensive Driving?
If your ticket is in Judge Crow's Court, and you have not taken Defensive Driving in the last (12) twelve months, you may be able to require that one traffic citation be dismissed by taking a state approved driver’s safety course. However, you may lose that right if you do not provide written notice of your desire to do so and enter your plea of guilty or no contest to the Court on or before the appearance date. You are not allowed to take defensive driving for some offenses, including but not limited to speeding more than 24 miles per hour over the limit, passing a school bus, fleeing a police officer, and certain other offenses. CDL holders are ineligible for ticket dismissal.A defendant who is younger than 17 years of age must appear in Court with a parent, guardian, or managing conservator, to enter a plea and request to take a Driving Safety Course.
You must first receive permission from the Court prior to completing the course.
To apply for defensive driving, carefully read the instructions before completing an Order Deferring Further Proceedings On Driving Safety Course.

The course must be state approved. YOU are responsible for meeting the Court and State requirements for dismissal by the due date. If you fail to present proof of completion of the driver’s safety course by the completion due date, the court will require your appearance at a show cause hearing; and you may be assessed an additional fine. If you fail to appear for the show cause hearing a Capias Pro Fine Warrant may be issued for your arrest.
