While reading this, at this point I thought the story was going to finish up "and that was the last I saw of him and my $50!"

I'm happy for you.

In Texas it's no different. Traffic tickets are almost a scam. I used to get about 1-2 every week 30 yrs ago. Pay a lawyer, never go to court and never had any issues (except less money in my pocket).

In VA, I was 83 in a 55, had a real lawyer (wish I had yours), huge fine, cost of lawyers, points, and... lost my license for 6 months.

I had my GF drive me to work which was one hour each direction and I had to listen to her in my ear the entire way, I consider that "time served". Poor girl had to drive an hour down to pick me up and an hour back (barring no traffic at the tunnels) and then turnaround and do it again.

I would contact your insurance company points or no points, it gets reported
To your insurance company. I had this happen to me when I was 18 and assumed I was in the clear, until my Gieco policy renewal came with an increase. A defensive driving course only removes the points, not the ticket.
The ticket remained on my license for three years. The ticket back then 20 years ago was $60 with a $100 increase in my insurance for three years. That resulted in a $360 ticket. Have not had a moving violation since. This was my experience pretty sure same thing applies today.

basicly what happened was they knocked down the speeding ticked to a J walking ticket, with just the fine. But i will deff keep an eye on my insurence just in case.
