East Texas

Longview defensive driving and ticket dismissal.

Pineywoods roads, East Texas oil history, and Longview's ballooning tradition give this multi-county cluster a character all its own. The ten reviewed routes span four East Texas counties, and only three publish a current fee online. In TxDOT’s 2024 city crash table, Longview recorded 2,150 crashes, including 7 fatal crashes and 37 suspected-serious-injury crashes. Gilmer and Kilgore publish $144, or $169 in a school zone; the other current amounts come from the clerk.
