Where can I find out how much a citation for not wearing your seat belt will cost?

I want to know how much it costs for violating the law that states that seat belts are to be worn.





Please, real numbers. Dont tell me it will cost you your life. i am aware of that.





So, how much does it cost? give me the rundown. if you can, leave sources.|||Edit:





Contact the magistrate court in the county you received the ticket for an exact amount.





See the Texas Law:





Sec. 545.413. Safety Belts; Offense.





(a) A person commits an offense if the person:





(1) is at least 15 years of age





(2) is riding in the front seat of a passenger vehicle while the vehicle is being operated;





(3) is occupying a seat that is equipped with a safety belt; and





(4) is not secured by a safety belt.





(b) A person commits an offense if the person:





(1) operates a passenger vehicle that is equipped with safety belts; and





(2) allows a child who is younger than 17 years of age and who is not required to be secured in a child passenger safety seat system under Section 545.412(a) to ride in the vehicle without requiring the child to be secured by a safety belt, provided the child is occupying a seat that is equipped with a safety belt.





(c) A passenger vehicle or a seat in a passenger vehicle is considered to be equipped with a safety belt if the vehicle is required under Section 547.601 to be equipped with safety belts.





(d) An offense under Subsection (a) is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $25 or more than $50. An offense under Subsection (b) is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $100 or more than $200.|||It can cost alot depending on the judge and wether it is your first offense or not.usually at least in new york state.$60.00+court cost $35 to $40 bucks but,.could be AS MUCH AS 150.00.check under your state laws or DMV might give you more info...good luck and buckleup|||DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT ONE FOR AWHILE, YOU'LL FIND OUT.
