Courts must report the dismissal date of a driving safety course to DPS.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not required
• D. Only for certain offenses

Answer: (B)

When a defendant completes a driving safety course to avoid a conviction, the court's duty includes notifying the Department of Public Safety about the dismissal date. This reporting lets DPS update the driver's official record to reflect the dismissal, which typically means removing the associated conviction from the record and ensuring that any points or license consequences are treated correctly. It isnures the driving history stays accurate and consistent with the court’s order. This is a standard obligation rather than an optional step and applies broadly whenever a dismissal results from a driving safety course, not just for specific offenses.
