You do not want to be issued a ticket for a traffic violation when there is already an outstanding warrant in your name regarding a previous violation. There are two separate kinds of warrants issued by the state of Texas, and with over a decade of experience as a traffic attorney:

Alias Warrant: Did you fail to respond to your Plano traffic ticket? If so, the ticket expired and now there is an alias warrant in your name. You still have the right to appear in court. I will post your bond, remove your warrant, and set a new court date.

Capias Warrant: If you already had your hearing, but you failed to comply with the orders of the Plano municipal court, then they issued a capias warrant. You have two options: pay the fine or go to jail.

Traffic Warrants

Even the smallest traffic violations can result in a warrant, if you fail to take care of your Plano ticket or comply with court orders. Do not underestimate the importance of taking care of your traffic violation:

Speeding tickets
Driving without a license (No DL)
Driving while license suspended (DWLS)
Running a red light or stop sign (DTCD)

Why Hire A Ticket Attorney?

People’s motivations for hiring lawyers in Class C Misdemeanor cases include, among other things:

* having warrants they need lifted
* needing a lot of time to pay
* being intimidated by the system because of language or past experiences
* being too annoyed by the process to go through it
* holding a Commerical Drivers License
* being too busy to handle it themselves
* not wanting to miss work time
* considering it so important that their violations don’t go on their record that it is worth the low fee.

If these or some other reasons apply to you, I can help!

Fort Worth Traffic Violations

It is more difficult to have your speeding ticket dismissed in Fort Worth than it is in Dallas. In Fort Worth, there is a two step process to resolving all traffic tickets. First there is a pre-trial docket where the officer must show up and validate the ticket. If there are any serious mistakes or the officer doesn't show, the case may be dismissed. If you have a CDL, you should take any chance you can get to pursue dismissal of your traffic ticket.

The second step takes place if your case is not dismissed, it will be set on an Attorney Plea Docket. On that date, you do not need to appear with me, but I will go to court on your behalf and I will negotiate the best deal I can with the prosecuting attorney. In most cases, I can get you a deferred adjudication probation, which will keep the citation off your driving record.

Dallas Municipal Traffic Violations

If you follow my instructions, I can help you try to get your Dallas traffic ticket dismissed. The first thing I will do is send a notice to the court, in order to set a court date, which will usually follow in about six months. More often than not, Dallas police officers do not show up for these cases, and so they are completely dismissed. However, in order to have your case dismissed, you must attend the hearing with me to get it dismissed. If you cannot appear in court with me, in most cases, I can keep the citation off your record but you will have to pay a probation fee to the city.

Contact Me

If you received a traffic ticket in the city of Dallas, I can help you try to have it completely dismissed. If you got a speeding ticket in a surrounding city, I can help you understand your options. Contact me today for a consultation with a Dallas area attorney.

In Texas, a traffic violation can result in extensive fines, thousands of dollars in increased insurance rates, and even the loss of your driver's license if you accrue too many points. If you are a commercially licensed driver (CDL) who has received a ticket for a traffic violation, you may also be in danger of losing your job.

Our firm defends clients in traffic-citation cases in Dallas and the surrounding area involving:

Driving without insurance
Speeding tickets
Running a red light
Stop-sign violations
Driving without a driver's license
Driving with a suspended license
Traffic-ordinance violations

The legal process in the city of Dallas is different from that outside of the city. We have extensive experience in both. When you contact our firm, we will listen to your needs, answer your questions, and explain what you can expect in court.

Contact our law firm today for a consultation to discuss the facts of your case and learn how we can help you protect your rights.

Aggressive Enforcement Adds Financial Strain to Already-Struggling Texans

Economic strain on local governments is forcing municipal courts in the DFW metro area and around the state to ramp up attempts to collect revenue from fines associated with tickets arising from speeding, parking violations, disorderly conduct and more. Cities are not only getting more aggressive in their efforts to receive payments, they are also finding more creative and cost-effective ways to do so.

In recent years, municipalities have not only steadily increased the number of tickets written, they have worked hard to make sure that the people who get the tickets actually pay the fines imposed upon them. Traditional collection methods, setting a court date and issuing bench warrants if payments are not made, have not been altogether successful. Now city administrators and municipal court directors throughout Texas are thinking outside the box to find new ways of convincing people to pay up. These include:

Publishing a "Top 10" of people with outstanding fines for Class C misdemeanors
Allowing payment plans for higher fines
Using collection agencies
Calling those who haven't made a timely payment
Sending reminder letters that payments are due
Offering alternate payment options; payments can now be mailed in, paid over the phone, online or at satellite offices (reducing the wait time and frustration that keep many people away from paying their fines in person)
Offering non-interest-bearing extensions of payment dates for those in need
Prohibiting renewal of drivers' licenses and/or vehicle registrations
Doubling fines if a warrant must be issued
Negotiating settlements
Millions of Dollars in Fines Are Unpaid

In the Fort Worth area alone, roughly 400,000 of tickets are issued for Class C misdemeanours, traffic violations and parking citations annually. Recent data shows that nearly 850,000 tickets were handed out since January of 2008, and 125,000 of them resulted in the issuance of bench warrants. Considering the amount of uncollected fees, fines and court costs associated with those unpaid tickets and the warrants themselves, the city is waiting on nearly $80 million of payments. The situation is almost as dire in nearby Arlington; that city has over 100,000 active warrants stemming from unpaid citations.

The economic impact of non-payment of these bills extends beyond the city governments themselves; the state of Texas receives a portion of all recovered fees, so they are adding fuel to the fire, pressing cities to make more aggressive collection efforts. To see just how much of an interest the state has in pursuing unpaid fines, look to Fort Worth: of the $60 million in municipal court payments collected since October of 2007, $19 million went to pad the state budget; another $16 million (of a total $42 million collected) came from Arlington.

Ignoring Tickets Will Not Make Them Go Away
Some people choose, out of principal or stubbornness, to not pay tickets. Some are financially unable to pay fines and court fees - this is especially true in a bad economy - and hope they will be able to make them in the future. Others are confused by the options available for resolution. To use traffic-related citations as an example, people who have been issued a ticket have the right to:

Plead guilty and pay the ticket
Pay the fine and attend a defensive driving course; this will keep the ticket from appearing on their driving record
Plead not guilty and argue their case at trial
Request a payment plan
Ask about working off the fine by performing community service
Consult with a caseworker about the possibility of "sitting out" the fine in jail (equivalent to $100 in fines each day, with a maximum time of eight days)
Regardless of your reason for not paying the fines associated with any of the nearly 3,000 citable offenses handled by Texas' municipal courts, ignoring them will not make them go away.

What Are the Penalties for Non-Payment?

Even a single unpaid ticket could potentially result in:

A bench warrant for your arrest
Accrual of interest on your fine
Additional court or filing fees
A blemish on your driving record (for traffic-related citations)
You being prohibited from renewing your driver's license or vehicle registration
Intervention of a collection agency (and the often-harassing ways in which they attempt to recover past due amounts).
What Should You Do to Minimize the Consequences?
Many people assume that having a citation issued to them means that they have been "found guilty" of something - that is not the case. You have a right, under Texas state law, to challenge a ticket. Your chances of success in doing so, however, are greatly improved when you work with an experienced advocate who has in-depth knowledge of the municipal court system.

Having a lawyer handle citations on your behalf can protect your rights, your hard-earned money, your driver's license and even your freedom. Attorneys who focus their practice on resolving traffic tickets and other citations on behalf of their clients have the knowledge and skill necessary to navigate the often-confusing legal system. They educate you about your options (paying the ticket, community service, etc.), examine your specific situation to determine what the best course of action for you is, and then work to resolve the matter in the most beneficial way possible. Where you might not be comfortable approaching a judge to seek a payment plan or negotiating with the prosecutor to reduce or drop charges, an experienced attorney can make an effective argument on your behalf.
