The Texas Driving Safety Course is a 6-hour course. You do not have to finish in one sitting — progress saves automatically and you can return as many times as needed.

The instructional content contains required topic timers that enforce the required instructional pacing of the 6-hour Texas DSC. Each timed topic must remain open for its required period. You can read and review the current topic while its timer runs, but cannot complete it or move forward until the timer expires. Once the timer expires and the topic requirements are satisfied, you can continue. Course progression is sequential.

Most students complete the course in one or two sessions, but there is no requirement to finish in one sitting. Log out at any point and your progress is saved. Log back in at any time and the course picks up exactly where you left off.

If you are taking the course for ticket dismissal, you must complete the course and submit your paperwork to the court by the deadline your court set — typically 90 days from when permission was granted. Plan to finish well before the deadline.

If you are taking the course voluntarily for an insurance discount, there is no court-imposed deadline.
