Penalties for reckless driving in Texas include fines up to $200, up to 30 days in jail, or both. Multiple convictions can bring more serious penalties, including points on your driver’s license and, ultimately, suspension of your license. Penalties may vary based on the severity of the driver’s misconduct and their history of violations. A skilled attorney with experience defending clients against reckless driving charges will challenge prosecutors’ evidence and seek alternative penalties, such as diversion into a safety course. Professional legal help can also help lower other penalties, such as reducing the time an offender is required to purchase SR-22 insurance (more expensive vehicle insurance required of drivers with several violations).

Our skilled attorneys can help defend clients against civil charges as well. Contact us today if you or someone you know is facing reckless driving charges. We will protect your legal rights and ensure you benefit from the strongest possible defense.
