Free eligibility check · 10 modules · ~6 hours
Dallas Municipal Court at 2014 Main St handles citations issued by Dallas Police inside city limits. The court runs an online portal for both defensive driving requests and certificate submissions, accepting filings 24/7. The dismissal path is the standard Texas process — request before appearance date, complete a TDLR-approved 6-hour course, submit certificate within 90 days.
The cost of doing nothing
Dallas Municipal Court has the heaviest docket in Texas — submit your defensive driving request early to avoid timing pressure.
DPS speeding citations on the Tollway, LBJ, or Central Expressway DON'T go to Dallas Municipal — they go to Dallas County JP precincts.
Dallas Municipal accepts online portal submissions 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

If your citation isn't a Dallas Municipal case
