Here is something you may not know. It was not very publicized, but happened back in 2003. Texas now has a points system.

Here is the official announcement

Effective September 1, 2003, Texas implemented a “Points System”!

Points are assessed to a person’s driver license for moving violations classified as Class C misdemeanors, and effective September 1, 2005, Child Safety Seat Violations are identified as moving violations. DPS will assess a surcharge when the driver accumulates a total of six (6) points or more on their driver record during a three-year period. The driver must pay a $100 surcharge for the first six points and $25 for each additional point, in addition to any related services fees.
