Deferred Disposition is an option that will keep your citation from being reported as a conviction on your driving record and will be dismissed if all terms required are successfully met.  If any requirements are not met and you cannot provide a satisfactory reason why you did not complete these requirements, your probation will be revoked, you will be found guilty and a conviction will be reported to the Department of Public Safety. Not all violations are approved for Deferred Disposition.

Non-Eligibility: 

  You are not eligible for Deferred Disposition if: 

• The citation alleges that you were speeding in a construction zone when workers were present.
• You have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) even if the violation occurred while you were driving a private vehicle.
• All juvenile defendants who are under 17 years of age, cannot obtain a deferred disposition online. You must come to court with your parent. You do not have to wait for your court date. You can come early Monday through Friday at 10:30am to meet with the Judge.
