Do you have a ticket you received in Galveston County? If so, the best thing you can do for yourself is complete a defensive driving course. Tickets can cause you to get points on your driving record, which will ultimately raise your car insurance rate, so they can be very expensive when all is said and done.
This ticket dismissal course is offered entirely online, so you can work on it anytime you want and from anywhere. The first step in your ticket dismissal is to Request Permission from the County of Galveston. The form and affidavit can be downloaded online and mailed in or you can submit them in person.
Once your application is approved you can sign up and start dismissing your ticket. The Course and Record combo is a full solution because it grants you access to all the online materials and you will get a copy of your driving record upon completion for the courthouse.
