Consult An Attorney Before Paying Your Speeding Ticket

The first thing I need to make clear is do not just pay the speeding ticket! If you simply mail in a check for payment on a traffic violation, that is a plea of guilty and you have inadvertently put the ticket on your driving record. That of course, can lead to points on your record, higher insurance rates, state surcharges, and possibly a driver's license suspension. You can, assuming you qualify, request a defensive driving class or deferred adjudication. However, the best thing to do is contact an attorney about your speeding ticket who has the experience to represent you at 817-685-0912.

There Are Three Types Of Warrants In Westover Hills, Texas

An Alias Warrant is when the defendant fails to make an appearance after the ticket is issued.

A Bench Warrant is when the defendant sets a court date, and then fails to appear on the scheduled day and time.

A Capias Warrant is when the defendant was found guilty either by his/her plea or following a trial, then fails to pay the fine within the required time frame. If you have allowed your case to go into capias warrant status it is too late for Jack Byno & Associates to help you, but if it is an alias or bench warrant contact me today to get the warrant lifted. We can be reached at 817-685-0912.

First Appearances In The Westover Hills Municipal Court

Your first appearance in the Westover Hills Municipal Court is to determine your plea. If you waive a jury trial and plead guilty or nolo contendere (no contest), you may talk to the judge about extenuating circumstances. Appearance by mail is considered timely filed with the clerk of the court if the document is deposited with the United States Postal Service in a first class postage prepaid envelope, properly addressed to the clerk, on or before the appearance date. If you plead not guilty, a pre-trial hearing will be scheduled. Absent the entry of a plea bargain at pre-trial, a trial date will be scheduled. You may request a trial by a jury or by a judge.
