Whether you were clocked on the Dallas North Tollway, LBJ, Central Expressway, or a city street, the dismissal path is the same: request defensive driving from the issuing court before your appearance date, then complete a TDLR-approved course. The court tells you what they need; we handle the course.
The cost of doing nothing
DFW insurers re-rate aggressively after a speeding conviction. A single ticket can add $300–$900 in surcharges over three years.
Citations on the Tollway, LBJ, or Central are typically DPS-issued and go to Dallas County JP courts — not Dallas Municipal.
Dallas Municipal speeding citations have a hard appearance deadline. Miss it and the dismissal option closes.
Where Dallas speeding citations actually land
DPD speeding citations within city limits go to Dallas Municipal Court at 2014 Main St. DPS troopers on the Dallas North Tollway, LBJ (I-635), Central Expressway (US 75), and I-30 file with Dallas County JP precincts. Highway speeding accounts for most Dallas-area DPS citations — the citation always names the specific JP precinct.
- DPD speeding (city-limit stops) → Dallas Municipal Court at 2014 Main St.
- DPS speeding (Tollway, LBJ, Central, I-30) → Dallas County JP courts.
- Dallas County sheriff/constable → Dallas County JP courts.
- Citation always names the specific issuing court.
School-zone and construction-zone wrinkles
Dallas has dozens of active school zones along major arteries (Greenville Ave, Lemmon Ave, Skillman St, etc.). School-zone speeding citations are still typically eligible for defensive driving but courts review more carefully — the doubled fine signals a more serious violation. Construction-zone speeding with workers present is excluded by Texas statute regardless of speed; without workers present, the standard rules apply.
The 25 mph hard line
Texas requires the cited speed to be less than 25 mph over the posted limit for defensive driving eligibility. At or above 25 over, dismissal through defensive driving is unavailable by statute. Read the cited speed on your citation carefully.
