Can I get a proof of insurance ticket dismissed?: While trying to pull my proof of insurance up on my phone, the officer claimed I didn't pull up the insurance fast enough and gave me a $325 ticket for not having insurance. I received a speeding ticket as well, which I'm fine with paying but can I get the proof of insurance charge dismissed if I show proof that I actually had insurance at the time I was pulled over?
Andreea’s answer: Don't pay the speeding ticket. You will get a letter from court with a court date. Assuming you had valid insurance at the time of the stop, you can probably get the insurance ticket dismissed and do Defensive driving for the speeding (which will result in the speeding ticket being dismissed as well). If you are under 25, then you will have to do deferred adjudication, take the defensive driving class, have no tickets for 3 mo, and your speeding ticket will be dismissed.
License suspended with a DWI,But my offense was a DUI? : I got a letter saying that my alcohol level was .08 or more (DWI) but my offense was a DUI
Andreea’s answer: In Texas, you are charged with DWI (driving while intoxicated) if you are an adult (over 17). If you are under 17, then it's a DUI (driving under the influence). For a DUI, the alcohol level doesn't matter, the presence of alcohol is enough. Since you mentioned that you got a letter from DPS telling you that your alcohol level is over 0.08, I am assuming you are over 17 and got charged with DWI, and not DUI.
If I was arrested for a warrant in one county, will they do time served for another warrant in another county? : Got arrested in Montgomery county, I have an outstanding ticket in harris county. I was wondering if its possible for Harris county to do time served for my time in Montgomery county
Andreea’s answer: Assuming you got arrested for the outstanding ticket and not because you picked up a separate case in Montgomery County, you can get credit for the Harris County case, for the time you spent in Montgomery county jail. You need to make sure that your attorney tells the clerk in Harris County (in the court your case is assigned in) so they can verify it and update it.
