| | | Out of state ticket
I live in Texas.
Last month I was in Hollywood on business. Today I received a ticket in the mail for apparently running a stop light while I was there. The fine (IMHO) is outrageous- $320.
So I'm wondering what could happen to me if I didn't pay the fine? Does CA and TX share traffic violation information?
This is my first ticket in over 5 years, and only my 2nd ticket in 20 years! |

| | | If you don't pay the fine it's quite possible a bench warrant will be issued. That warrant would show up the next time you get pulled over and you'll be arrested.
Take care of the ticket. | |
