I got pulled over for running a red light I went to court I had to pay 150 and do defensive driving.

Answer

You must enter a plea of guilty or no contest with the court in order to sign up for defensive driving. The court the agrees, that if you successfully a complete a state certified defensive driving class and send the certificate of completion to the court within 90 days, the cases will not be reported as a conviction. If you fail to submit the required materials within the required time frame, the court will report a conviction to the DPS since a plea has already been entered,
