This varies by state, but most states have made it as described. And the fines are hefty (often in the USD 300 range). The surcharge from Alamo will also be over USD 100. It will automatically be charged to your credit card, often months after your rental. Getting the charge reversed is difficult if not impossible.
In some states the owner of the vehicle (Alamo in this example) is not responsible, the driver is responsible; all the owner must do is to provide the name and address of the driver. In that case you will get the ticket in the mail, and it is between you and the issuing authority. But Alamo is likely to have a service charge for this, as well (maybe in the USD 50 range).
