Even if we cannot obtain an outright dismissal of your case, Texas law provides for several other means by which your traffic violation may be kept from appearing on your driving record. For example, deferred adjudication (also called "deferred disposition") is a method of resolving your case that allows you to pay the court, without being found guilty. If you receive no citations or speeding tickets during the "deferral period," the ticket will not appear on your driving record.

Other traffic ticket offenses
In Texas, many different traffic citations can result in big problems for your license. These can include license suspensions and increased insurance premiums, not to mention big fines from the court and surcharges that can be imposed by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Speeding tickets are the most common type of traffic ticket, but many other citations can have a serious impact on your drivers license. We are Berlof & Newton, P.C., and we can help you in your effort to keep your driving record clean.
Not all traffic violations are considered "moving violations." You have the right to have your day in court, regardless of the alleged offense for which you have been issued a citation. We have three decades of combined experience representing clients in a wide variety of traffic ticket cases:
* Speeding tickets
* No Insurance
* Driving without a license (No DL)
* Driving while license suspended (DWLS)
* Failure to signal
* Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility (FMFR)
* Running a red light or stop sign (DTCD)
* No registration or expired registration (MVR)
* No inspection or expired inspection (MVI)
* Reckless driving
* Failure to appear (FTA)
* Following too close
* Failure to maintain a single lane
Texas State Point System
Payment of a traffic ticket fine results in a conviction, which can negatively affect your driving record. As the result of such a conviction, you may be assessed traffic points by the State of Texas. If you accumulate too many points, you may be required to pay a mandatory yearly surcharge for three years in order to retain your license. We can help you keep these charges off your record, and avoid these surcharges.
Seemingly minor traffic infractions can have serious impacts. Don't just pay your traffic ticket! We may be able to help you get your case dismissed without your ever having to go to court. Call us today for a free initial consultation.
Non-traffic "Class C" misdemeanors
