I can pay less for the fine but I would get 'points.' I'm just not sure if these points will transfer to my Texas Motor Vehicle Report. The NonResident Violator Compact refers to ignoring tickets and having your license suspended, but not the reporting of speeding tickets / points. I'd be willing to pay a few hundred dollars extra to avoid my insurance rates going up, but if NJ doesn't report to TX, I don't see the need.
Thanks!

mbrcatz below is somewhat incorrect - I can plead guilty to a lesser charge, which would come without points, but with a heftier fine, according to the municipal court lawyers with whom I've spoken.

The only way to keep the points is if u take a S.T.O.P. class also known as Defenseive driving class, |

Your best bet is to contact the courts and ask them these questions. They are the ones who will process your ticket and will know all the laws and regulation. You should also ask the courts if you are allowed to take a driving school class. This will prevent your insurance from going up and points from being placed on your license. Just make sure you get the courts permission before doing so. If you don’t the courts will reject your driving school certificate. Good luck! |

And if the traffic court judge does not accept your plea- then you've wasted money on an attorney & for what?
TX will find out & any points assessed will be placed on your license.. |

You can't pay extra to avoid points. NJ DOES report to Texas. |
