How Much Does Texas Defensive Driving Cost?
Understand the Texas $25 minimum, separate course tuition from court costs, and compare the features included before you enroll.
Quick answer
Texas sets a $25 minimum course charge.
Texas Education Code §1001.352 requires a driving safety provider to charge each student at least $25 for a driving safety course. Providers may charge more. Court fees, driving-record charges, and other court requirements are separate from course tuition.
Separate other costs
Keep court fees, driving-record charges, and case requirements separate from tuition.
Compare what is included
Certificate delivery, audio, language options, testing, and support can change the real value.
Why $25 appears so often in Texas defensive driving advertising
The number is not arbitrary. Texas Education Code §1001.352 requires a driving safety provider to charge each student at least $25 for a driving safety course. That makes $25 the statutory floor, not a maximum.
A provider can charge more than the minimum, and providers can differ in what is included with the course. That is why the strongest comparison looks at the total provider price together with the features you actually need.
