Have you ever wondered how hefty your fine would be if you were caught going around 140 mph on a Texas highway?

Probably not as much as you'd think.

Through an open-records request, the Express-News obtained a database of all speeding tickets with an alleged speed of more than 100 mph that were issued in the state by Department of Public Safety troopers last year. That amounted to more than 5,700 tickets.

Digging deeper into the citations, we tracked down the fines levied for the 19 fastest tickets on the list from individual municipal courts.

See the gallery above to see details for each of those tickets, including alleged speeds, total costs of tickets and court costs, location and make and model of the vehicle.

Further analysis of those records showed some interesting trends for the types of vehicles, the roads and locations of the offenses and the speeds at which Texans drive.

We previously looked at the 20 counties where the highest number of speeding tickets over 100 mph were issued last year by DPS. Many of the most populous counties did not appear on the list, and that list and map of counties can be viewed here.
