You might not have ever heard of “DADAP,” but this course is a little-known way for Texas drivers to earn an automatic 5% discount off their automobile insurance. Everyone is looking for ways to cut expenses these days, and this is an excellent way to do it.<\/p>\n

DADAP stands for “Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program.” This course has been around for a number of years, but was previously only offered in the classroom. In 2008, the Texas Education Agency approved an online DADAP course developed by Driver Training Associates, Inc.<\/p>\n

Taking the DADAP Course for a Texas Auto Insurance Discount:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Texas law (76[R] HB 3757) authorizes a mandatory 5% Texas insurance discount (automobile coverage) for any Texas driver who completes a DADAP course approved by the Texas Education Agency. Furthermore, a Texas driver who completes a 32-hour Driver’s Education Course or a 6-hour Driving Safety Course is eligible for a 10% automobile insurance discount, plus an additional 5% discount if he or she completes a DADAP course. This amounts to a total insurance discount of 15%.<\/p>\n

Taking the DADAP Course for Certain Alcohol \/ Traffic Related Offenses:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Attendance of a DADAP course may also be accepted by certain courts when an individual has been convicted of certain alcohol and \/ or traffic related offense. Texas law authorizes the attendance of a DADAP course for satisfaction of several different types of offenses, but since each case is unique, we recommend contacting the Court to verify acceptance prior to taking the DADAP course.<\/p>\n

Note: Texas law does not allow the DADAP course to be taken for ticket dismissal.<\/strong> Drivers who need to get a ticket dismissed should sign up for a TEA approved Driving Safety Course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
