If you get a ticket for a red light violation that was caught on camera, you are presumed to be the driver of the offending vehicle because you own it, but since nobody stopped you, the state has no way to verify if you were really behind the wheel at the time. Therefore, red light tickets from an intersection camera are treated as civil violations only. You are still responsible for paying the Texas red light ticket, whether you were actually the one driving the vehicle or not. However, the ticket won't appear on your driving record, won't create points against your license, and your insurance company can't use it as an excuse to raise rates. So, won't affect a CHL application, as it is, once again, a civil violation, not criminal.

Depending on your county, your registrar's office may or may not block a registration renewal. My wife has rung up a couple of these "turning right on red without stopping" camera tickets. She hasn't paid them, and Collin county has not blocked her renewals. I personally find them to be a revenue grab by the municipalities which we should all refuse to pay - if they get no revenue from them, the companies that run the cameras and send out the tickets will stop running them. Just my view.....
