What you state is not a defense. Having a license plate in the windshield is a violation of the law if the car is driven on a Texas road, regardless of where the car was purchased.

Are there OMNI holds on your license due to these citations which prevents license renewal, or have convictions already been entered on the cases? What city are the tickets from? Calling a local attorney would help. Good luck.

If you spent time in jail while a warrant was outstanding for the ticket in question, then you may request time served. Understand that time served means a guilty finding, and a conviction will be reported to the DPS on your record. You may call an attorney as well. Good luck.

If you received notice to appear in court, then appear in court. Otherwise, warrants will issue for your arrest. Not signing a ticket is irrelevant. Good luck.
