COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE FINE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDED FINE SCHEDULE FOR CITATION(S)
DEFERRED DISPOSITION
Deferred disposition is a process, similar to probation, where the court imposes certain
conditions on the defendant. If the defendant complies with the conditions, the criminal
charge is dismissed, and no conviction is ever entered. However, if the defendant fails to
comply, they will be convicted of the offense. Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 45.051.
Deferred disposition may not be granted on any Rules of the Road offenses occurring in
construction or work zones with workers present. Additionally, deferred disposition may
not be granted on any offense relating to motor vehicle control, committed by a person who holds a commercial driver’s license or who held one
at the time of the offense. Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 45.051(f).
Defendant 24 years and younger: The requirement of a driving safety course is mandatory for any defendant under 25 years
of age who is placed on deferred disposition for an offense classified as a moving violation.
Defendant 17 years and younger: If the defendant is under the age of 18, with a provisional
license, and is placed on deferred disposition for a
moving violation must be ordered to retake the
driving test through DPS. Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 45.051(b-1).
