FAQ
The best defense to a ticket for speeding is that you were driving the safest rate of speed based on the traffics around you, weather, road conditions, and your own experience along with your personal knowledge of the motor vehicle you were driving.
If you have good evidence on your side, like a speed sign obstructed from view or a provable error on your actual ticket, be sure to bring proof to back up your case. Present your case in a calm, collected manner. If the judge agrees that you did not intentionally break the law, your ticket could be dismissed.
First, because a traffic ticket and other class C prosecutions (public intoxication, possession of paraphernalia, assault by contact, etc.) are criminal, you have the right to a jury trial in Texas. This means a jury of six people can be empaneled to decide your guilt or innocence after hearing the evidence.
The back of your citation should list a specific court. You need to contact the court to inquire if you're able to get your ticket dismissed. Don't start taking a defensive driving course until you have court permission. You'll need their go-ahead to apply any course hours toward a ticket dismissal.
