If you’re involved in an accident or collision involving a vehicle in Texas, chances are you’re going to get (or can ask for) a document listing one or more transportation codes on it.
In this guide, you will learn what these codes are, what they mean, and how they can affect your legal representation.
What Is A Transportation Code, Exactly?
A Texas transportation code is a shorthand way of writing down a specific offense that a person is charged with committing.
These codes usually match the location of the offense under Texas law, which makes it much easier to locate the full legal information if you’re inclined to do so.
Transportation codes are not always unique. Under current Texas transportation code definitions, several similar offenses may share certain codes.
For example, code 545.351 includes failure to control speed, speeding, and unsafe speed.
These are not the same offenses.
For example, it is possible to drive at an unsafe speed without exceeding the posted limits. If there’s a sudden snowstorm and all the roads are dangerously icy, driving at even half of the speed limit could be an unsafe speed, and therefore a citable offense.
Offenses that have the same code on the Texas transportation code traffic violations list typically have the same punishments, though full reports usually include further details about the alleged incident.
How Can I Find Out What Codes Are Involved In An Incident?
You may not be the only one involved in an incident, and at times like these, knowing what codes are involved with the whole incident can be an important part of a defense strategy.
Texas traffic statutes expect you to meet one of the following criteria for requesting a CR-3 accident report:
- You are someone directly involved in the incident, such as a driver or a passenger. In this context, “involved†typically means “you were in one of the vehicles.†You are usually not considered involved in this way if, for example, you pull over to the side of the road after seeing a collision and rush over to see if anyone needs medical attention.
- You are an authorized representative of someone who was involved in the incident. This usually refers to lawyers like our team here at Stoy Law Group, but authorized representatives could include other types of help, such as the executor of an estate if someone perished in the collision.
- You are the parent, legal guardian, or employer of someone involved in the collision.
- You are financially responsible for one of the vehicles. This mainly includes vehicle owners and policyholders. For example, if someone steals your car and crashes it into another vehicle, you are completely entitled to a copy of the accident report even though you were not directly involved.
Under current law, you can receive a collision report up to ten years after the incident.
However, you’ll need to send in a request for it through the mail or the internet, and in most cases, pay a small fee for processing it.
What Else Should I Know About Vehicle Codes?
The Texas motor vehicle codes list is long.
After all, its purpose is to collect as many violations as the law describes so police officers and similar individuals can quickly record relevant information in time-sensitive situations.
You can read the entire list below if you want, but in most cases, it’s better to do a search on this list and jump straight to any code violation officers are charging you with.
Also, you may need to use them yourself. Or, if you hire us, we may need to help you use them when filling out a crash report.
Proper use of vehicle codes can help simplify reports and make it easier for the police or other personnel to follow up on them.
How Do Codes Impact My Legal Defense?
The Texas traffic violations list is a fundamental part of most legal defense strategies for transportation violations.
Put simply, it’s hard to mount a defense until you know what they’re charging you with.
Fortunately, we know how to get all of the relevant codes under Texas traffic laws and provide Texas transportation code definitions and how to use them as part of a comprehensive defense strategy.
We can also help determine whether or not the codes cited in a particular incident are correct. If people used the wrong codes to describe the incident, we might be able to get all of the charges dismissed. Failing that, we may be able to lower the severity of the charges, and therefore the punishments you face.
What Are The Main Categories Of Vehicle Codes?
Having a single unbroken list of offenses would be hard to use, so most people use a variant where the codes are grouped into distinct categories.
This is not an aspect of the law, just an organizational principle.
Here are some of the more common categories you’ll see on our list of Texas transportation code definitions below:
- Bicycle Offenses: These are offenses committed by bicycle riders, such as failing to stay on the right side of the roadway or failing to have a reflector or light at night.
- Driver License Violations: This category covers issues like driving without a proper license or knowingly hiring unauthorized drivers.
- Drivers – Miscellaneous Violation: The miscellaneous violation category includes the most common offenses people think of, such as possessing an alcoholic beverage or assault with a motor vehicle.
- DWI: This category covers all parts of driving while intoxicated. This is usually, but not exclusively, alcoholic offenses.
- Miscellaneous Violations: This is another broad category that includes many potential offenses that don’t fit into other categories, such as permit violations or permitting livestock to roam across roads.
- Motor Carrier Law: This section is less about driving and more about registration procedures.
- Motorcycle Violations: Motorcycles have many specific violations, ranging from carrying a passenger without appropriate headgear to operating it while too young.
- Vehicle – Miscellaneous: Not to be confused with generic miscellaneous violations, vehicle violations include everything from defective exhaust emission systems to no seat belts. If it’s something that could be wrong with your vehicle, it’s probably in this category.
- Violations Against Pedestrians: Violations against pedestrians include things like failing to yield the right of way or failing to use due care for pedestrians.
