You have 90 days to finish the course and turn in the court copy of your certificate, your Type 3A driving record and the notarized affidavit, at the clerk's window or through the court's online portal. The affidavit must be notarized, or signed in front of the clerk where the court allows it.

Online requests: JP1 and JP3 through eFileTexas; JP2 and JP5 through their municipalonlinepayments portals. Other offices: JP2 5533 FM 423 Suite 901,
