Do you get points for your first speeding ticket in Texas?

The good news is, if your speed was less than 25 miles over the posted speed limit you may be able to avoid the fine and keep it off your driving record by taking a Driver's Safety Course if you haven't taken the course for the same reason within the past 12 month period. The next step to keep it off your record would be by asking for Deferred Adjudication (a form of probation). This is usually more expensive than taking a DSC but it keeps it off your driving record. The best thing to do is obey the speed limit.

You get points for any speeding ticket in Texas that is more than 10% over the legal limit.
