what state is your residence/license plate? I'm guessing Arizona because of your college, so maybe they have reciprocity with NV? I know a lot of the New England/Northeast states have a "reciprocity" system in terms of enforcing tickets, points systems, etc.
The problem with just "paying" a ticket is it goes on your record and jacks up your insurance rates long term which is a lot worse problem than the ticket itself. Usually it's better to pay a lawyer the $75 or so to get it deferred adjudication (the one time I had a ticket I was 22, but it wasn't for speeding) and it won't go against your long term record. Also, the lawyer fee generally pays for itself because the lawyer can usually whittle down the fine by 25-50%.
No states have reciprocity to Texas, fwiw.
