In proposed Section 707.011, Transportation Code, insert a
new subsection (d) to read as follows:
(d)(1) For a second or subsequent violation within a twelve
month period, in addition to the civil penalty applicable to the
violation the municipality shall also require the person against
whom the penalty is imposed to successfully complete a driving
safety course approved under the Texas Driver and Traffic Safety
Education Act (Article 4413(29c), Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes).
The municipality shall adopt, as part of its ordinance under this
chapter, provisions for notice to the person against whom the
penalty is imposed of the requirements of this subsection, time
limits within which the course shall be taken and such additional
procedures relating to the completion of the course as the
municipality deems advisable. Upon completion of the driving
safety course, a person who is required to complete the course shall
provide the municipality with a copy of a certificate approved by
the Texas Education Agency for use with driving safety courses.
(2) If a person required to complete a driving safety
course under this subsection fails to complete the course and
provide the certificate required by subsection (d)(1) within the
time prescribed by the ordinance, the municipality shall impose an
additional civil fine of $200. The additional fine provided by this
section shall be subject to the other provisions of this chapter
regarding late payment, collection and deposit of civil penalties.
