Fort Worth accepts driving-safety requests online, by mail or in person. After the standard window, a judge must approve the request. The city specifically tells applicants to wait for approval before taking a course or requesting a driving record.
Mail and counter requests
Use the city’s request instructions to assemble the plea, license, proof of insurance and court payment. The mail/in-person page also explains how to request court records, which is a separate service from obtaining a DPS driving record.
Keep the approval and completion dates together
The court’s driving-safety office can clarify your assigned deadline and packet at 817-392-8675. Ask where the certificate and supporting documents must be delivered and retain confirmation that the court received them.
