Defensive driving certificates are state-specific — your New Mexico completion would close out the case in New Mexico, but if you move to Texas, any future Texas ticket would need a Texas-approved course. A few practical notes: - Your New Mexico certificate stays valid for the citation it was issued for, regardless of where you live later - If you move, request a copy of your New Mexico driving record before transferring your license - We offer Texas-approved courses for any future Texas tickets New Mexico Defensive Driving Course Please let us know if you have any further questions!
