Traffic Ticket Law

This is probably your worst option. Many individuals are not aware that by simply paying your traffic ticket results in a conviction on your driving record. Additionally, if you are convicted of a moving violation your car insurance premiums are likely to increase. In some cases, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will try to suspend your driver’s license and impose additional annual surcharges. Fortunately, even if you are guilty or if you are not eligible to take the defensive driving, our traffic ticket lawyers may be able to keep the traffic ticket off your driving record. In most cases, our ticket defense attorneys can resolve your traffic ticket without you having to appear in court.

Then, you must also pay the tuition to an approved school and another fee to the Texas Department of Public Safety for a certified copy of your driving record.

Do not forget that you must also spend at least six (6) hours attending and passing the final evaluation required by the course. Finally, you must provide the court with a certified copy of your driving record and the official course completion certificate within the time period ordered by the court.
