About TicketDue

TicketDue explains, in plain English, how drivers can use a defensive driving or traffic school course to deal with a traffic ticket: who qualifies, what each court asks for, and the deadlines that matter. We start with Texas and add other states as we check their rules.

We are not a court, a government agency, a driving school or a law firm. We don't handle tickets, file anything with a court or give legal advice. Your court's instructions always come first.

How we check our facts

• State rules come from the statutes and the official agency pages (for Texas: the Code of Criminal Procedure, TDLR and Texas DPS). Court procedures come from each court's own website. Every page links to its sources.
• Every page shows the date it was last checked. Court fees and procedures change, so we re-check pages regularly and when a reader reports a change.
• Course prices are typical ranges from course providers' public price lists, not quotes.
• We use AI tools to help draft pages. They don't decide what the law says: every rule, deadline and fee is checked against the official source linked on the page before it goes live.
• We don't claim to have taken a course or contacted a court unless we actually did.

Corrections

If you spot an error or a rule that has changed, email hello@ticketdue.com. We review every report within 7 days and update a page's "last checked" date only when we have re-checked it.

How we make money

The guides and the checker are free. We may earn a commission when you buy a course through some links on the site. This never changes the price you pay, and it doesn't decide what our guides say: we always link to the official list of approved courses as well, and any approved course meets the court's requirement.
