COLLISION INVOLVING DAMAGE TO VEHICLE>=$200

Texas Transportation Code § 550.022 sets out a driver's duties after a crash that results only in damage to a vehicle driven or attended by a person. The operator must immediately stop at the scene or as close as possible without unnecessarily obstructing traffic, or immediately return to the scene, and remain there until complying with Texas Transportation Code § 550.023 — providing name, address, and vehicle registration number, showing a driver's license on request, and giving liability insurance information. The offense, commonly called failure to stop and give information or leaving the scene, is failing to perform those duties. This variant, § 550.022(c)(2), applies when the damage to all vehicles involved is $200 or more, which distinguishes it from the lesser variant reserved for crashes causing less than $200 in total vehicle damage.

Ranges are the statutory maximums for the level; enhancements, prior convictions and plea agreements change what is actually imposed.
