I’m extremely disappointed with my experience using the onlinetxdefensivedrivingcourse.com. Initially, it seems like a great deal – they advertise the course for $25, and you think that covers everything. However, after you pay the $25 course fee, they hit you with more charges.
After buying the course, they ask you to pay an additional $40 just to email your course completion certificate. This is absurd. Emailing a certificate should be free, but they charge you extra, taking advantage of those who need their certificate quickly. It feels like a scam designed to make you pay more after you’ve already committed.
In addition, they charge $20 for a 3A Driving Record, which can be purchased directly from the state for $12 at Texas DPS. It’s just another unnecessary and inflated charge.
Even if you choose not to pay the $40, they take their time delivering the certificate via USPS. I waited 10 days to receive mine, and if you’re in a hurry, they’ll charge even more for expedited delivery.
Suggestions:
If you’re in a rush, avoid this course and choose another provider.
If you do buy this course, only pay for the course itself and be prepared to wait for your certificate. Don’t get caught up in their extra fees.
GENERAL SUGGESTION: Do not buy this course. The hidden fees and slow service make it a frustrating experience.
