Q: I was denied court supervision for a texting while driving ticket because I received court supervision for a first
Ticket in september 2018. I received a letter telling me supervision has been denied on this second ticket and a conviction has been entered. I am over 21.
What does this mean? Do I have to pay more? Go to jail? Show up in court? Lose my license?

A:
Your question is hard to follow. Did they revoke supervision on the first ticket because of a new one? Or did they deny supervision on a second ticket because you already had it once?
Another fact to know: under 21?

A: A second cell phone offense is treated as a moving violation (note: a first will count as a moving violation beginning in July under the new law). Because you are over 21, it would take 3 convictions within 12 months to cause a license suspension. However, if you want to remove the conviction, you or your attorney may be able to file a motion to vacate and request supervision in court.

A: You should have the letter reviewed by an attorney. Most attorneys will do this free of charge and only charge you if there is a court appearance or some sort of filing needed. The sooner you have an attorney review this letter the better.
