In the Texas point system, points are added to a person’s driving record for moving violations categorized as Class C misdemeanors. If a driver accumulates six or more points within three years, the Department of Public Safety imposes surcharges. The surcharge is $100 for the first six points, with an additional $25 charged for each point beyond that, along with associated service fees.
The course costs $25, plus $3 in mandatory fees that are paid to the State of Texas. Although often not advertised, these mandatory fees are required by the State of Texas for all driving safety courses administered within the state. We are committed to providing you the best service for the best value and will not charge unnecessary fees.
