How many points before your license is suspended in TN?

I got something in the mail labeled as a notice of proposed suspension and I don’t know what that means. Does TN suspend your license for having too many points, or is something else going on?

It’s good that you’re following up on the notice so that you know what to do next! If you get 12 points or more within a 12-month period, your license can be suspended in
TN
. When you receive a notice of proposed suspension, you have the opportunity to attend an administrative hearing to refute the charges brought against you.
If you fail to appear for your hearing, your license will automatically be suspended for six to 12 months. At the hearing, however, it’s possible that you’ll be offered the option of taking a defensive driving class instead of having your license suspended.
Having this many license points can affect your car insurance, too. Check out the
