What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Texas
What are my legal options if I don't agree with final judgment from a municipal court over deferred adjudication for tickets?
In 2012, I got a citation for failure to signal and turning from the wrong lane-my very first ticket. I contacted an attorney and he told me he had sent the court paperwork to the court to wait for a court date, but for somehow the court did not receive the proper paperwork in time and the violations of failure to appear and jumping bail were added. We went to court got differed adjudication and I paid the amounts on the paperwork but apparently I wasn't given the paperwork for the additional citations. So I was declared in default. After reaching out to the court a date was set for a show cause hearing which I appeared for but my attorney didn't. They reset the date but neither of us got notification and missed it. Now they entered final judgment and said I have to pay $923. I'm unemployed and can’t afford it
