Which statement best describes eligibility for the driving safety course?

• A. Plead Guilty or Nolo Contendere, hold Texas license and evidence of financial responsibility
• B. Plead Not Guilty and hold no license
• C. Plead Guilty or Nolo Contendere, regardless of license or financial responsibility
• D. Plead Guilty or Nolo Contendere, and must also waive the right to jury

Answer: (A)

You can take the driving safety course only if you admit responsibility for the offense and you meet two practical requirements: you must plead guilty or plead no contest to the traffic offense, and you must be a Texas driver with proof of financial responsibility (insurance). Having a Texas license shows you’re subject to Texas driving rules, and insurance evidence ensures you meet the state’s financial responsibility standard. If you plead not guilty, you aren’t eligible for the course; and simply not having a license or not showing insurance would also bar eligibility. (There are other specific limits in practice, such as timing and prior DSC history, but the core eligibility hinges on the plea together with license and insurance status.)
