Under the Points System Surcharge, points are evaluated to moving violations classified by Texas as class C misdemeanors. The TX Department of Public Safety will evaluate a surcharge when the motorist accumulates a total of six points or more on their driving record in a three year period. The motorist must pay a $100 surcharge for the first six points and $25 for each additional point.
The TX Department of Public Safety will do an annual assessment on the anniversary date of the original surcharge notice. This includes reviewing the driver’s record and determining if the motorist still meets surcharge requirement factor. If the record reflects the motorist had six or more points in the previous thirty six months, then the motorist must pay the surcharge again.

How many points have to be on my MVR in the state of Texas before they will suspend my drivers license in Dallas?

In the state of Texas your drivers license will be suspended if you have what they call as “habitual traffic violator”. This means that a person who receives four or more moving infractions in a period of 12 months or has seven or more moving infractions in a period of months. If you are convicted of this many infractions you may expect that your drivers license will be suspended.
You can verify with Texas Department of Public Safety website at www.txdps.state.tx.us to check if there is also a point limit or just the number of infraction convictions.
