Relieved 4 citations ( none for speeding) advice please

[Aaronkoe]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas


My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Texas

Just hoping to get a little advice on the subject.

My car is old and I've been planning to buy a new one when money permits. Because of this I haven't renewed registration/ inspection because it's expensive.

Today I received four citations. Expired registration, no drivers license on demand (I left my wallet at home), operate vehicle without license plate or registration (why is this a separate citation from the first), and failure to pay toll (I have an EZ tag!!!) I was pulled over on a toll road but I was not failing to pay.

The last one is total bs, I have an EZ tag that I pay regularly. The cop said my license plate number is different than what they have on file. ok but how is that failure to pay?


My question is basically what should I do. Obviously I'll take care of all the issues lacking, should I get a lawyer? Should I just take care of all the issues and hope the court drops the tickets? When I get my new registration and they ask if I received a ticket (because it's very expired they always ask) what should I say. What happens if I say no(they will give me a current date)

Thank you very much in advance

P.s. I have a lot of respect for police, but this kind of forced solicitation in an agregeous manner is very disheartening. I wasn't even speeding!!! I haven't been ticketed in years.

I guess my "free advice" is to get a dictionary?

i posted this exact post on four separate legal forums and each gave me a helpful response. I guess this forum is just for trolling low lives. Thanks for nothing. I won't be back.

I am glad to hear your questions were answered, Aaronkoe, even if you did not receive the answers here.

No one on this forum posts 24/7 so sometimes it takes awhile for a forum volunteer to address the questions asked.

Because you have been helped elsewhere and seem happy with what you learned, though, there is really no need for us to repeat information. You can use whatever it is you learned on the other forums to handle your tickets.

Good luck.

So YOU are the one who knowingly drove your car with no registration, you got caught, and you blame the police for it?

Sorry, but that's an old song. I hear it all the time. The judges have heard it too. Good luck.

Not from what I saw.

Aaronkoe received a good response from Taxing Matters on Expert Law. I didn't check other forums.

Because he received good answers to his particular questions there, I think the spelling tip received from Silverplum here was a nice addition, helpful as general advice, and bound to help him more in life than rather no-brainer advice to drive a car only when you have your driver license with you, only when your car is properly registered and insured and inspected and properly plated, and to pay all of the tickets that cannot be dismissed upon showing all violations have been taken care of.

Aaronkoe violated laws because he thought it was "too expensive" to comply with them. Now he will have to pay far more than he would have if he had complied in the first place. He certainly did not make the best or smartest financial decision.

If you just want to blame the police for your 4 (!!) tickets for not obeying basic car ownership, you don't deserve anything more than a dictionary entry.
