Texas license points
No point schedule here
We have nothing official saying Texas runs a license point system, and nothing saying it does not. This is what we do have:
The Department of Public Safety will no longer assess DRP points for moving violations. Any previously assessed points have been removed from your record.
More from Texas’s rules
Effective September 1, 2019, the State of Texas has repealed the Driver Responsibility Program – Chapter 708, Transportation Code.
DRP was initially created on Sept. 1, 2003, to establish a system to assess a surcharge based on a driver's traffic offenses. Surcharges were assessed on an individual's driving record by points or convictions.
Texas is not in the ticket checker, because we have no point schedule for it.
