Colorado Point System

Colorado's state system that assigns points to a driver's license for traffic violations.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

“The question that often gets asked is okay, the points that I have on my license here, because Colorado has a point system, do the points that I have on my Colorado license carry to Texas, for example, if you're moving or if you're traveling, or if you're originally from Texas, and you come here and you get a ticket that involves points, the answer is no.”

“So in Colorado, you have a privilege to drive whether you have a license or not, you have a privilege to drive in Colorado, if you do something that affects that privilege, and points get taken away from you, you can lose points in Colorado, that does not mean then that you're going to lose points in another state because that state hasn't had you violating their laws and making you lose points with them.”

“So we're not going to let them drive here until they clear up whatever is in Colorado, but the points themselves do not transfer between states. Again, it is kind of a complicated process.”
