Alaska and your home state of Texas are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). This reciprocal agreement requires member states to inform the licensing state of a motorist if they are convicted of a moving violation. So if you are convicted of the speeding ticket you received in AK then the TX Department of Public Safety (DPS) will be notified.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety they will place out of state offenses onto your 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.
So yes it would appear that your Alaska speeding citation would be assessed only 2 points in Texas though in Alaska you would be assigned 6 points.
Since theĀ AK speeding infraction will be placed on your TX driving record your insurance company will see it the next time they pull your MVR. To find out if thisĀ Alaska speeding ticket will affect your rates you would need to find out about your specific insurance company's rating system. Usually you can find out about a rating system by asking your agent or the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) since the insurance provider's rates are filed with this state agency.
Texas law requires rates for insurance offered in Texas to be reasonable, adequate, not excessive to the risks for which they apply, and not unfairly discriminatory according to the Texas TDI. Auto insurance companies in Texas set their own rates and then file them with TDI for review.
