Fighting Your Traffic Ticket

Posted By Jerry Loftin & Associates || 28-Sep-2018

It’s estimated that every single person in the United States will be pulled over by flashing red and blue lights at least once in their lives. In fact, one-third of all traffic stops made by the Texas Highway Patrol Division typically results in a citation. Whether you were speeding or accidentally ran a red light, being told to sign a ticket can be a nerve-wracking experience.

This isn’t to say that the idea behind ticketing traffic violations isn’t sound; penalizing offenders is, in many cases, the only way for the Texas Highway Patrol Division to regulate unsafe driving behaviors and prevent accidents. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that a trooper is always in the right, or that a ticket is necessarily fair. Fortunately, there are ways you can fight your ticket and protect your driving record.

Traffic Ticket Penalties

In Texas, penalties and fines for traffic ticket violations are determined on a county-by-county basis. If you’re convicted of a violation, point will be added to your driving record. As these points continue to accumulate, you may find yourself paying higher car insurance rates, being fined additional surcharges, and even losing your legal right to drive.

Steps to Fighting Your Ticket

If you’re ready to fight your ticket and protect your driving record, the first step you need to take is to hire a lawyer who can guide you through this process and litigate on your behalf. At Jerry Loftin & Associates, our Fort Worth traffic ticket lawyers can review your ticket, investigate your case, compile evidence, and help you submit a not guilty plea to the court.

If you intend to submit a not guilty plea, the court needs to be notified before the due date on your ticket. In response, the court will set a hearing date where you can argue your case before a judge. Our legal team can represent your case and convince the judge to reduce your sentence or dismiss your ticket. At this point, you may need to request a defensive driving course to remove the ticket from your driving record.
