Yep, a decade ago I racked up too many points and, outside of my tickets, I had to pay $250 a year to keep my license. It was a pain.

That's like 10% of the drivers in Texas, isn't it?
I have many good friends in Texas and frankly, I pity them. Politically... UGH...

There many good things about Texas. Sadly, our politics is not one of them. The Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General are all crooked. This system of surcharges was put in place purely as a revenue source, not to encourage better driving. Because at the same time they implemented these surcharges, they also stopped making young drivers pass a practical test. And then they implemented driver's Ed out of a box, parent taught, no classes required. Sigh....

260,000 square miles and not room for both politicians and constituents.

But hell, ya'll just gotta 'member that Everything's Bigger In Texas!!"--Esp. Our Politicians, their ego's, and their personal bank accounts.
In the city I live in, one can hardly even go to the bathroom without having to get some kind of a city fee permit for it.
That is how all these small cities in these here parts generate their income.
And do you think the State of Texas wants to spend a dime of its Billions that it has for decades been squirreling away in it's various state commission "Rainy Day Funds" for ixing what is universally considered to be terrible infrastructure which is crumbling (roads, bridiges, drainage, etc?) -- Hell No! The states mindset here is firmly--If folks want those things, let Private Industry (which pays very little taxes here) pay for it--But of course they won't, and we the tax payer's are the ones caught in the middle.
What a way to run a state!
