Car Insurance Question  My 20-year old son attending college in Texas visited me for Christmas in Georgia. He received a speeding ticket on the highway in GA & the ticket read 83 in a 55 mile zone. If I pay the fine for him in GA will the points show up on his MVR where he is insured & licensed in Texas?

If your son pleads guilty and pays the fine for the Georgia speeding ticket then yes, it will likely be placed on his Texas driving record. Texas is a member of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) which Georgia is not however GA still shares information with other states regarding moving violations drivers were convicted of.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety they will place out of state offenses onto a person's TX driving record. The Texas points system lists that it is 2 points for a moving violation conviction in Texas or that in another state. Points however are not assigned for speeding less than 10% over the posted limit or for seat belt convictions. Since your son was going 28 mph over the posted limit it would appear that he would get points placed on his Texas MVR.

Since it will be shown on his Texas driving record then his insurance provider will be able to see the violation next time they pull his MVR. It will depend upon his insurer's rating system whether this GA speeding ticket will affect his rates or not.
