Hello,
My roomate has recently been ticketed for driving uninsured twice in 30 days. He has 1 previous offense, so this all told, will be the third time for the same offense. He has some other traffic tickets on his record, but nothing major. No other offenses driving related or otherwise, on his record. We absolutely have to have the vehicle, as we commute 1.5 hours to work every day. (at $4 a gallon no less.) What is he looking at, and how can we minimise the pain that can be inflicted by the courts? Fines are expected, but what about jail time? impounded vehicle? suspension of his license? Does the fact that he got ticketed twice for the same offense in 30 days change the issue for worse or better? And would hiring a laywer be worth the cost? ANY help would be appreciated! Thanks for your time. |

Thanks for the info m8, I really appreciate it!
If I could, may I ask for details of what a license suspension entails? is there a time limit for that, or can we just pay the reinstatement fee, and be fine? And considering there is no way that we can pay $2000.00 for the fee, and the county that he got caught in (rumor has it) doesn't accept payment plans, is it potentially possible that he could serve that cost in jail? He got caught in Leander if that helps. Thanks! |

Hi everyone:
The state of Texas will collect more money above the fine amount though. Texas has a Driver Responsibility Program which assesses fees for a variety of driving-related offenses. With this assessment program surcharges are due every year for three years for certain convictions of Texas laws. Driving without a valid license comes with a surcharge amount of $100 per year.The exact amount of the fine would be up to the judge in jurisdiction where the ticket was received for driving without a valid license. So if you were cited for driving without a valid license in Texas you should contact the court listed on the ticket to find out what the total cost of the ticket will be for operating a car as an unlicensed driver. The court can also tell you what other penalties you may be facing at your court date besides the fine. =================================== Mathews mydebtconsolidation.com |
