2 driving tickets @ once: misdemeanor & infraction ??

[Alexaa]

At the beginning of november I received a driving infraction (speeding 13 over) and at the end of november received another misdemeanor driving ticket (I usually do not get tickets). Obviously the misdemeanor has enough consequences as it is, but what could an additional infraction add? Should I try and push one back until the other is resolved? Any advice on this situation would be super helpful

What state was this in, and what are the statutes for which you were cited??

I am in Texas. The speeding ticket is 13 over, around $150 fine & the misdemeanor is a class C for leaving the scene of an accident.

The misdemeanor is complicated because I had lightly tapped someoenes car trying to get around them (I was going about 1mph) and wasn't even sure if I had actually hit them, I looked and saw no damage, and made the mistake of leaving. When I received the ticket it was a class c misdemeanor (in texas its classified as that if the damage is <$200).

***Oops the misdemeanor was actually class B (class c is less than $200)

"pushing one back" will get you what exactly?

You got two tickets on two different occasions. No mystery to it. It might be wise to consult an attorney.
