Full Breakdown

A 2019 state law erased red-light camera enforcement across Texas, and Lubbock is bound by it. Transportation Code Section 707.020 forbids any local authority from implementing or operating a photographic traffic signal enforcement system on streets under its jurisdiction. The Texas Attorney General enforces the prohibition. Lubbock issues no camera-based red-light citations; every red-light violation is enforced by a Lubbock Police officer who witnesses it and writes a moving citation in person.

Violations & Fines

There is no camera-issued red-light ticket in Lubbock. Running a red light is a moving violation cited in person by Lubbock Police, carrying a fine and points on your record, not a mailed civil notice.
