Far West Texas

El Paso defensive driving and ticket dismissal.

The Franklin Mountains, the Rio Grande borderland, and UTEP's mountain-side campus give El Paso a landscape unlike any other Texas metro. El Paso County has eight Justice Courts, and several smaller municipal courts publish no complete DSC fee or deadline online. In TxDOT’s 2024 city crash table, El Paso recorded 15,253 reportable crashes, including 66 fatal crashes and 212 suspected-serious-injury crashes. Use the exact court and precinct on the citation, then confirm the current amount before paying.

Start with the court on your citation.

If the citation names El Paso Municipal Court, request DSC before the scheduled hearing or ask the judge at that hearing. The court offers online, mail and in-person request routes and gives 90 days to return the required completion documents.

Court checklist

  1. Confirm that the citation names El Paso Municipal Court and use the scheduled hearing date shown for the case.
  2. Before that hearing, follow the court's current DSC instructions for the plea, court costs and administration fee. If you use the online route, select the DSC request; simply paying the citation is not the same request.
  3. After approval, complete the course and return the Type 3A driving record, TDLR court-copy certificate and insurance copy before the 90-day period ends.
