Dallas Speeding Ticket Attorneys
In Texas, driving records are monitored by the points system. The points system is described by The Department Of Public Safety as follows: “The Driver Responsibility Program establishes a system that authorizes the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to assess surcharges to an individual based on certain traffic offenses that have occurred on or after September 1, 2003. Individuals are notified by mail each time a surcharge is added to their driver record. Surcharges are in addition to other fees and do not replace a suspension, revocation, denial, disqualification or cancellation resulting from the same conviction.” In order to understand what types of moving violations have the potential of suspending your driving privileges, our Dallas traffic ticket lawyers have included the chart below. If your moving violation is on this chart, you need to seriously consider hiring a traffic ticket attorney in Dallas to assist you with the violation.
