National online traffic school brands: which are state-approved in Texas and Florida?

Big online brands advertise “state-approved” in many states. We checked 13 well-known names against the two official lists we track: TDLR's driving safety provider data (Texas) and FLHSMV's approved BDI list (Florida).

This is an approval check, not a ranking. We have not tested these courses and we show no prices, ratings, or completion times. Approval can change; re-check the official list on the day you enroll. This table does not include California: on November 14, 2026, DMV's licensed traffic violator school list was available only as an interactive lookup, and we could not obtain a complete official roster to cross-reference. Use our California guide and DMV's lookup.
