Unpaid speeding ticket in Oklahoma, was sent a letter that says my driving priviledges are suspended in Oklahoma, but I have a Texas license, what happens if I get pulled over in Texas? Will I get arrested? Or is it only in Oklahoma?
answered on Sep 5, 2019
Eventually Oklahoma will notify Texas about your situation, and your Texas license will be suspended. Contact an attorney in Oklahoma to see what can be done to avoid a conviction on the tickets in that state. Good luck.
I have been out of state for over a year because of family problems and lost all information regarding previous traffic tickets that I received in Fort Worth and Keller. I believe I have warrants out, what should I do?

If you live out of state, appearing in court for warrants in Texas is probably impracticable. Contact an attorney to see what can be done to recall the warrants. Good luck.

There is an interstate compact where each state will basically help enforce the laws of another, so the answer to your question is yes.

You should contact the Court immediately and settle the matter; don't wait around for a warrant.

Tickets are class c misdemeanors, and an officer has the right to arrest an individual charged with a class c misdemeanor (except for speeding), take them to jail, make them appear in front of a judge, have a bond amount set, then post bond. Local jails, however aren't big enough to have... View More

The short answer is yes, what the officer did was permissible, and you could have been arrested for the offense. Take the title of the vehicle in question along with the most recent registration receipt to the local county tax office to remedy the situation. Good luck.
I keep calling the number on the back of my citation/ticket and they keep telling me my information is not in the system..
answered on May 21, 2019
That happens sometimes. Consider putting a recurring event on your calendar that reminds you to call them every Wednesday at 10am. If you are bad at using your calendar perhaps set an alarm on your smart phone for that purpose.

If I were the attorney I would have called the Constable and inquired directly what the problem was and told him if a ticket was being issued he can fax it to me, and we will get a not guilty plea filed for her.
My license expired in February and upon trying to renew it this old ticket showed up from April 2014. I have no insurance now because I have no vehicle. I moved from San Marcos in 2015 to Spring Tx.
answered on May 8, 2019
Yes you can, and what we usually do under facts like this is try to get the Judge to allow you to pay the Fail to Appear and dismiss the no insurance. The FTA is not a moving violation and it keeps you from getting a suspension for no insurance and surcharges.
I went back the next day to video my exact route. To show that there are no visually posted signs with in the area the officer claimed I was speeding. Which is roughly about a 1 mile distance between the streets.
