    I got a ticket in California for being Out of Lane. I was passing some ####### going 46 in the 2nd right lane of I-10 and a trooper nabbed me.

    Is this considered a moving violation in Texas, where I am licensed? Anyone have a recommended course of action?

    Why would it matter that something isn't a violation in your state? I wouldn't try to use that as a defense as those lane warnings are literally all over the place in CA

    I do that same maneuver in California often. Guess I’ve been lucky.

    There is literally no signage from AZ to Riverside on I-10. That isnt the issue. My question is what the violation constitutes in Texas. Money isnt my main concern. I would happily pay a higher fine if I can plead down to a non moving no point violation. I was asking if the Out of Lane violation is points in Texas
