Oklahoma and Texas are both members of the Drivers License Compact meaning that the Texas courts will advise the Oklahoma DMV of your speeding ticket if you are convicted of it.

In Texas deferred adjudication is a type of probation that is only available after a plea of guilty or no contest. Once a defendant pleads guilty or no contest, the judge can postpone a finding of guilt and place the defendant on deferred adjudication. As long as the defendant follows the terms and conditions of the deferred adjudication, at the end of the probationary period, their ticket will be dismissed.

If the defendant violates the terms or conditions of the deferred adjudication, the probation can be revokes and if that happens, then the conviction does appear on the defendant's driving record or criminal record.

You would need to check with the Texas clerk of the court to find out if this speeding violation for 11 mph over the limit would still be shared with Oklahoma or not if you use deferred adjudication. If the ticket is shared with Oklahoma and it is put on your OK driving record then you insurance company would see it the next time they pulled your motor vehicle record (MVR).

Depending upon your insurance carrier's rating system the speeding ticket could affect your rates. Being your first ticket it may not change your premiums but this really is up to your insurance company so if you find out that this ticket will be listed on your driving record contact your insurance agent to get information on your insurance provider's rating system.
