How to Request DSC Approval

After Completing the Course — Submit These
- •DSC Certificate of Completion (court copy, original signed)
- •Type 3A Certified Driving Record from Texas DPS
Important Deadlines & Local Rules
- •Request deadline: On or before the appearance date shown on your citation (standard Texas Art. 45.0511 rule — confirm with court)
- •Completion window: Typically 90 days from the date the court grants DSC (standard Texas practice — confirm with court).
- •Official city domain is weslacotx.gov (not weslaco.tx.gov); the court page is under /departments/municipal_court/
- •Online payments go through trafficpayment.com (csdId=152), NOT municipalonlinepayments.com — the portal is for paying fines, and paying in full is a conviction, so do not pay online if you want DSC
- •Court publishes no DSC-specific page, fee, or request form online — the plea form covers only nolo contendere/guilty/not guilty pleas, so DSC requests must be arranged directly with the clerk
- •Court Administrator: Celine Pardo; Presiding Judge: Samuel Sanchez; Associate Judge: Emmanuel Espinoza
