Traffic Ticket Convictions In Texas And How They Impact Your Driving Privileges
Texas is on a points system. What that means is that every single moving violation that is reported to DPS as a conviction will be assessed points against that person’s driving record. Too many points equals the possible suspension of that person’s driver license. The points in general are monitored as follows:
A driver license will automatically be suspended if an individual is convicted of:
- Four or more moving traffic violations within a 12-month period, or
- Seven or more moving traffic violations within a 24-month period.
Individuals who have been convicted of at least two offenses for a violation that conflicts with a restriction or endorsement printed on their driver license are also subject to a suspension or disqualification.
Objecting To A Driver License Suspension In Texas
After you get a notice of enforcement action from DPS for a suspension due to traffic ticket convictions, you have the right to object to the suspension. You can object to a driver license suspension online or by fax. Either way you decide to object, make sure that you keep a copy of the objection you file. The process is delicate in that if you do not object to a driver license suspension, it will become automatic. This is why we suggest that you contact an attorney that is experienced in defending driver license suspension in Texas.
