Expired Registration charges in Texas
An expired registration citation alleges your vehicle's registration had lapsed. Many are 'fix-it' style citations that can be resolved by renewing and showing proof. In Texas, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Texas DPS / TxDMV suspension threshold of Repeat convictions / habitual violator, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
