You should go to Court on your Citation. TN might get LA to determine the right DL and revoke it. It is not a chance that you will want to take as it may be impossible to reinstate the DL after such a suspension.
55-8-123 says first offense is suppose to be a warning and second is only suppose to be 20$ but the county clerk charged me 238.75

Make sure that you understand exactly what the $238.75 was for (because courts often can collect court fees in addition to a fine). If you are being overcharged, pay it "under protest" and file a timely appeal.
What's better for me, going to court, paying the fine, or going to school؟

Always go to Court for Rule of The Road Citations. You might receive some type of Diversion or Dismissal. Bring cash to pay costs.

All of those requirements are statutory Rules of the Road in Tennessee. That is for the Driver not passenger.

When you paid it, you admitted guilt. You have to ask for diversion prior to pleading guilty. Should have gone to Court.
I do have a restricted license but it was outside of my approved times and not for work. Do I need to hire a lawyer or is it possible to get an okay outcome without one?

That will probably be a VOP, so hire an attorney to represent you. Get a lawyer now before you are arrested. Also do what you can to get your TNDL back.

Yes... Hire an attorney to represent you. DOS might suspend your TNDL. You are in a bad situation.

Current Registration of the vehicle is needed in Court. Also bring your TNDL and Insurance. If you were not currently registered, but are now, you might get it dismissed on costs.

You apparently were found guilty of lack of financial responsibility since you paid a fine. Why did you not hire an attorney? It might be possible to set aside the Sessions Judgment, but very doubtful. Contact DOS and see what it takes for reinstatement. Also hire a competent attorney.

He needs to contact the various Courts that have each Citation and pay them, getting receipts. Then contact DOS about how to reinstate CDL.

Hire an attorney to go to Court with you. The Financial Responsibility Statute may suspend your DL, and there may not be anything to do about it. Bring owner to Court with you, but it was your offense.

Consult with an attorney after you personally contact the DOS. You will probably need to do most of this yourself, but advice or representation to get paid in full receipts may be needed. There are alot of factors involved, especially completion of all Sentence requirements which you have... View More

Tell the dealer you need a new temp tag. Take it to court with you and explain. If you can't hire a lawyer ask to have a lawyer appointed to represent you in criminal court.
Im wondering if I can just pay the ticket and get insurance. Or if I’ll get in more trouble if they find out I actually don’t have it.

If you do not have insurance at the time of the stop, then it is a crime. However sometimes you can get the charge dismissed with costs if you show up at Court with your new insurance card, registration and TNDL. It would be worth it to hire an attorney to represent you.
