Prepare the mailed request carefully
JP1’s form directs applicants to send the plea and course request by certified mail with license or qualifying military proof, insurance and the specified court payment. Ask the clerk for the current amount before purchasing a money order or cashier’s check. The form’s older printed costs may not reflect your citation.
Keep evidence of the request date
The form measures 90 days from the request and calls for a course certificate, affidavit and certified driving record. Retain mailing proof and compare that timing with the court’s approval notice. The linked government directory lists the Texas Avenue office; call before travel to confirm its current service location.
