What a speeding ticket costs in Texas
| Typical fine | Up to $200 fine plus court costs (Class C misdemeanor) |
|---|---|
| License points | No points — Texas repealed its point/surcharge system in 2019 |
| Insurance impact | The conviction itself is what Texas insurers surcharge — typically 15–20% higher premiums for about three years. |
| License risk | Convictions count toward DPS's habitual violator suspension (4 moving violations in 12 months or 7 in 24 months). |
Frequently asked questions
No — Texas eliminated its point and surcharge system when the Driver Responsibility Program was repealed in 2019. But the conviction still lands on your DPS record, insurers still surcharge it, and enough convictions can still get you suspended as a habitual violator.
It's Texas's probation-style resolution: pay a fee, keep clean for around 90 days, and the ticket is dismissed with no conviction on your record. It's often the right outcome — but eligibility varies by court, and it's off-limits to CDL holders.
Generally no. A licensed Texas attorney can enter an appearance, negotiate with the prosecutor, and secure deferred disposition or a dismissal without you taking time off. We connect you with an attorney admitted in Texas who handles that court.
Yes — via a defensive driving course, deferred disposition, proof problems with the radar or officer testimony, or negotiation. The right route depends on your record and the specific court, which is exactly what your attorney sorts out.
Higher speeds and worker-present construction zones narrow the easy options — some courts won't grant driving-course dismissals for them — and fines climb. Those are the tickets where attorney negotiation earns its keep.
