Leave it to Lebrocq to Handle Your Traffic Tickets and Warrants

Traffic tickets can hurt you financially. The huge fines can force you to borrow money or use your savings to pay them off. You will need to appear in the Carrollton, TX municipal court to submit your guilty plea. Doing so will leave a mark on your clean driving record. Texas follows The Driver Responsibility Program, a point-based system, which assigns surcharges based on specific traffic violations. What if you are one point away from paying an annual surcharge amount?

When you have a total of six points, you will have to pay a surcharge amount of $100 for the first six points. If you have more than six points; for each additional point on your driving record, you will have to pay $25. This amount varies from year to year and depends on the status of your driving record. You will have the option to pay the entire amount or pay it in installments.

This amount is in addition to all the other fees you will be paying. You will have to pay reinstatement fees, courthouse fees, and other penalties. In short, you will be paying a lot, meaning you will take a hit financially if you accumulate six or more points on your driving record.

Understanding the Texas Point System

The state’s point system adds points to your driving record. It is important for drivers to have a basic understanding of how the state’s point system works. When a police officer in Texas gives you a ticket for a traffic violation, you will receive a point on your driving record. How many points you will receive depends on the traffic violation. Here is a look at the point system:

  • Moving violations (2 points)
  • Collision violations (3 points)

The points remain on your driving record for three years. Out of these two violations, police officers fine drivers for moving violations more often than collision violations. If you accumulate four moving violations or more within twelve months, your license will be supsended. Another way for your license to get suspended is if you have seven or more moving violations within twenty-four months.

How Can Your Traffic Lawyer in Carrollton, TX Help You?

Our clients can visit us for a variety of different services related to traffic violations, tickets, warrants, and omni holds. There are two types of warrants the court issues for the driver, alias and capias warrants. In the event that the driver fails to appear in the municipal court in Carrollton, TX at the scheduled date, the judge then issues a citation called a “violate promise to appear” or “failure to appear.”

Alias Warrant

The judge will fine you for not appearing in court as well as report the alias warrant to the Texas Omni System. Want some good news? If an alias warrant has been issued for you, we can help you get the warrants lifted in Carrollton, TX. Another (but not recommended) way to lift the alias warrant is to plead guilty and pay off the fines.

If you go down that route, you will have to pay hidden surcharges as well as face paying more for insurance. You can also pay off the tickets by going to jail. We do not recommend you do that either. Instead, you need to get in touch with a Carrollton, TX traffic attorney to assist you in lifting the alias warrant. Do not sit in jail, plead guilty, or post a cash bond! Consult with your trusted lawyers in Carrollton.

Capias Warrant

A capias warrant is more serious than the alias warrant. The judge will issue a capias warrant for your arrest if you fail to pay the fine after the court found you guilty at the trial. The judge will issue a capias warrant if you do not meet the conditions of the trial such as completing community service for a specified number of hours or failing to complete a required class such as a defensive driving class. Unfortunately, we are unable to lift a capias warrant and you will have to pay the outstanding fine, request more time, or serve time in jail.

We tell drivers not to plead guilty or for moving violations because we can help them get off the hook before it comes down to the judge issuing a warrant for their arrest. Let us handle going to the court on your behalf, but if you are set to appear, visit the court and plead either not guilty. Once you do that, we will take care of the rest.
