Texas has several types of driving records, but a Type 3A record is one of the most complete ones you can get. It can be used as verification for a defensive driving course, and it includes the following information:
  • Name
  • Date of birth
  • License status
  • List of all accidents and violations in record
  • DPS certification of all information
You can get a Type 3A copy of your record quickly by using the Texas DPS online record request system to print it, or you can mail in a request to have a copy mailed to you.
If you’re planning to use your Type 3A driving record copy as verification for a defensive driving course, you could be in for some serious savings on your
