Talk to the prosecutor before the court date, preferably in person. Proffer a deal whereby you pay the fine if he agrees to amend the charges to something that won’t go on your record. Explain that you have to drive a lot for work, along with the extenuating circumstances behind the speed limit on that stretch of road. Failing that, ask him for deferred adjudication, even if you can’t find it in the code. Failing that, try the defensive driving school option.
If all else fails, hire an attorney and have him deal with it.
I haven’t had a ticket in years, but back when I used to get them on a fairly regular basis, none of them went on my record.
