Attorney answers:
Speeding 30mph over the limit.
If you are found guilty, your driving record will be assessed 2 points. I would suggest retaining the services of an attorney to fight the ticket. If the notations you provided are the same as on your ticket, an attorney will be beneficial. Furthermore, you should not have any problems with your immigration process even if you are found guilty.

Attorney answers:
How can I check that this is true and cop didn't just no-show?
To verify whether a subpoena was issued, go back to 1400 Lubbock and request a print out of your file from the clerks at the windows on the first floor. Ask the clerk for a screen print showing the activities by the court, specifically the activity log indicating a subpoena was requested or issued.

Attorney answers:
Texas has levied a surcharge on 2 tickets which I have yet to be convicted
What is referred to as a surcharge, I consider an unconstitutional tax. Since the inception of the surcharges to generate revenue, the courts, the department of public safety, and third party vendors routinely distribute misinformation with the hopes that citizens will just pay the taxes. The taxes must be based upon an outcome. Wait until after you have resolved your citations before blindly paying any taxes.

Speeding Ticket marked as "construction zone with workers present"
No one can answer your first question honestly without additional information. Depending on the additional information, you may be able to have the ticket dismissed, but I would certainly recommend you get the help of an attorney. This type of offense is treated as if you were a holder of a commercial driver's license. As a result, you can not request defensive driving or deferred adjudication to resolve the ticket. The fine amount is doubled with this type of offense meaning the fine...

Request to see radar gun record for proof of supposed speeding
You do not have an absolute right to look at the readout on the radar or lidar gun. Please keep in mind that the citation is just a notice instrument of the charge against you. However, if you refuse to sign the citation, you can be arrested. You may have several defenses to the charge against you, and I encourage you to seek the services of an attorney to help you with a jury trial.

Attorney answers:
What can I do to avoid getting fined? What can i do or say in court?
Many questions have to be asked to help answer such an open-ended and loaded question. I recommend that you hire an attorney to help you with these matters. If you had insurance, you will definitely want to present proof to avoid paying fines and fees in excess of $1,000.00

Attorney answers:
If a city prosecutor dismisses a traffic ticket how soon can they change their minds ?
The prosecutor has up to two years from the date of the offense in which to refile the case. The severity of the offense, your attitude, whether there are outside witnesses, etc., may all contribute to whether or not your case is refiled. Don't get worked up about it though. The case has been dismissed and unless you discover otherwise, it remains dismissed.

Attorney answers:
Can I win a no seat belt ticket in Houston if the officer who pulled me over did not write me a ticket, but rather his partner.
Yes. Despite the slogan, keep in mind the current law is not "Click It or Ticket". The lack of personal knowledge may play an important factor depending upon which policeman appears at the trial setting. Schedule your case for a trial by jury rather than a trial by judge.
