TX - Thrice Reissued Ticket

Jan 16th, 2008, 11:54 AM

My parents have a unique situation. They have received a speeding ticket and fought it in court. It was dismissed once for "defective complaint." The officer reissued it and mailed it to my father via certified letter, and it was again dismissed for "insufficient evidence." He has a third time sent it to my father via certified letter, this time changing the ticket from "75 in a 60" to "75 in a 65."

Is this legal??? Does Double Jeopardy come into play here?

Thanks,

Not if he was not convicted or tried--they can re-issue the ticket unfortunately.
