How much is a no-seatbelt ticket in Texas?
How much will I have to pay for getting caught without a seatbelt while driving through Texas? I forgot to put on my seatbelt and I got pulled over, but I don’t know what to expect from the ticket.

I’m sorry to hear that you got pulled over! A ticket for not wearing a seatbelt in
Texas
can cost up to $200, including fines and court costs. If you had a child in the car who wasn’t properly restrained, the fines will increase to $250.Texas imposes strict seatbelt laws to keep you safe in the event of an accident. For people in the front seat of a passenger car, wearing a seatbelt reduces the risk of dying in an accident by 45%.
Unfortunately, a traffic ticket like this might raise your insurance premiums. To combat this, check out the
