Q: I payed a ticket with deferred adjudication two months ago but received a letter about it.
The letter asked me to appear for a show cause hearing but I payed for my ticket with my defferred adjunction. The letter even says “BALANCE DUE: $.00”. What exactly happened and how do I fix it?
A: You need to immediately contact the Court Clerk and ask them. There may a problem with their court software. Be prepared to show payment proof within the ordered time period to the Court Clerk or the Judge. Do not ignore this notice. If you do not resolve this issue before or on your show cause hearing date, a warrant may be issued.
