Can I get out of paying an 11 year old traffic fine if I live in another state and am unemployed?

Criminal Defense Fines Speeding Tickets Traffic Ticket Unemployment

I just received notice from the Travis County Justice of the Peace Centralized Collections office that I owe $740 for an outstanding traffic violation issued in 1998. The fine also includes a failure to maintain financial responsibility (no insurance) and a failure to appear before the court violations.
I currently reside in Philadelphia and am a full time graduate student (unemployed). Is there a way to get out of paying this? The collections office offered a payment plan, but the terms do not fit my current budget.
Can a local ticket attorney get the fines dismissed or reduced? Thanks.
