DSC Court Fees

This court does not publish its DSC fee schedule online. Call (817) 952-2150 to confirm the exact amount before submitting payment.

Standard Texas DSC fee is typically $144 for moving violations and $169 for school zone violations, but varies by court.

Important Deadlines & Local Rules

• •On or before your appearance/court date listed on the citation
• •You have 90 days from court approval (per standard Tarrant County/Texas practice; confirm exact deadline with court — Bedford's deferred disposition form references 60 days for a DSC component, so verify DSC-specific deadline directly) to complete the course and submit all documents.
• •Bedford's official payment page explicitly states: 'You cannot use this service to pay for any alternative sentencing option such as deferred disposition (unless pre-approved by the Court) or driver's safety course.' DSC fees must be paid in person or by mail.
• •The court's own deferred disposition document references a 60-day deadline to return a DSC completion certificate — this may apply when DSC is ordered as a deferred disposition condition. Confirm whether standalone DSC requests carry a different (e.g., 90-day) window.
• •DSC is not eligible for online payment via the court's web portal.
• •Ineligible offenses (per Texas law and confirmed by Tarrant-area courts): speeding 25+ mph over limit, no insurance/failure to maintain financial responsibility, leaving scene of collision, passing a school bus, citation in a construction zone, or commercial driver's license holder.
