What is the name of your state? TX
If someone can answer this that would be great... I received a speeding ticket about a month ago and it said on the bottom of the ticket to appear in court on or before the September 30th. So I walked into the court house expecting to sign up for defensive driving for the ticket and be on my way..But... the lady said that the ticket had never been filed and the police officer never turned it in. I said "ok where do we go from here?" She said come back on friday which would be September 30th and if the police officer hasnt turned in the ticket the ticket it would be dismissed. Well I go back on the 30th to see if the ticket had been turned in and was hoping that the ticket never go turned in. Here is where it gets interesting... I am talking to a differnet lady this time, she neither can find the ticket in the system... She asks if I have the ticket on me and I say no i dont.. She pulls up my last name, my drivers license number etc and no matches... I then said well the lady told me that if the police officer hasnt turned in the ticket by the 30 its a dismissal right? She says yea but the only way we can get the ticket dismissed is if you have your copy of the ticket. Here is where the deceiving part comes into play..I question whether I should show my ticket or not since this is the only proof that it exists...She says the only way i cant get it dismissed is if I show the ticket... Well I do and magically she somehow manages to find the orginal white copy tucked away in one of the file cabinets and now says it cant be dismissed because they have found their copy. "What BULL****"!!! I say, and tell her that this ticket would of never been found if I hadnt shown my ticket.. Now its time to shake the foundations of the judicial system because I knew they would try and screw me on this one....Any legal advice would be great because they sound fairly ****ty to me, oh and please just dont say get and attorney or just pay the fine because that doesnt help..... kthanx
