About Texas traffic laws
Texas eliminated its Driver Responsibility surcharge program in 2019, but the Department of Public Safety still suspends 'habitual violators' with four moving-violation convictions in 12 months or seven in 24. Many Texas courts allow deferred disposition or a defensive-driving course to dismiss a ticket.
How points & your license work in Texas
Texas adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Texas no longer charges the old point surcharges, but DPS can suspend a habitual violator at four moving-violation convictions in 12 months or seven in 24 months. The Texas DPS / TxDMV suspension trigger of Repeat convictions / habitual violator means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
