  1. What You Should Know About Traffic Tickets in Texas POINTS SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT TYPES OF TRAFFIC TICKETS IN TEXAS Texas uses a points-based system to track traffic violations. Each ticket adds points to your driving record: two points for a moving violation and three for one that results in an accident. Accumulating six points within three years triggers additional fines. Texas issues tickets for various violations, including speeding, running red lights, reckless driving, and failing to yield. Tickets are categorized as moving or non-moving violations, with moving violations typically carrying more severe penalties, IGNORING A TRAFFIC TICKET INSURANCE IMPLICATIONS Failing to pay or contest a ticket can result in serious consequences, including arrest warrants, increased fines, and suspension of your driver’s license. Ignoring a ticket does not make it go away; it escalates the situation and complicates your legal standing. Traffic tickets can cause your insurance rates to rise, as they indicate risky driving behavior. Even a minor violation may lead to higher premiums. Avoid accumulating tickets and consider contesting any that could significantly impact your record to maintain affordable insurance. RULES FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION COMMERCIAL DRIVERS Hiring a traffic ticket attorney can help you navigate the legal system and potentially reduce or dismiss your charges.
