Deferred Disposition
Definition
Deferred Disposition is a type of probation that can dismiss your citation if you meet certain criteria. You will be placed on probation for a period of up to 120 days.
Advantages
When you successfully complete deferred disposition, there is no final conviction. The complaint may not be used against you for any purpose. A conviction will not be reported.
Eligibility
You must answer the following questions to determine if you qualify for deferred disposition:
- Do you have a valid Texas driver's license?
- Was there an accident involved at the time you received your citation?
Your answers will determine whether you are eligible for deferred disposition. If you are under 25, you will be required to take a driver safety course as a condition of deferred disposition.
If you qualify, please read the instructions, and fill out the Deferred Disposition - Instructions and Request Form.
Disqualifiers
Disqualifying factors include:
- You were charged with going 25 miles or more over the speed limit.
- You are charged with a violation in a construction or maintenance work zone when workers are present.
- You hold a commercial driver's license or held one at the time you were cited for the offense.
