You live in Mexico now, correct? Texas is the state that issued your driver's license but your speeding ticket was in California?
I suggest that, if you cannot find help for this in Mexico, you call the California court and ask your questions of it.
Have you applied for a license in Mexico? You said you have no plans to return to California. Do you have plans to return to the US?
I lived in Nevada with a Nevada driver's license. I moved to Mexico 1 year ago with my girlfriend to be with family. We loaded up her Suburban and drove stopping in California to visit friends before driving the 3300 miles to Yucatan. I
had money then. Here is the final version of my absolutely no bs testimony that I'm throwing myself to the mercy of the court with. It
is 100% truthful i.e. I'm not just trying to take them for a ride. I would pay it with fervor if I had any money. I start out explaining that I did, in fact, make efforts to pay the fine, and the rest is self explanatory. I'm hoping someone here will let me know if there is any part that could be worded better, or anything that should be omitted, and of course I will post here the response I get from the judge. Should be interesting!
Explain Your Reason for Petition: I received this citation on my way out of California to drive 3300 miles to Yucatan Mexico where I now live. A couple of months later, while in Mexico, I made efforts to pay the fine because I still had money from a small inheritance that was about to run out. I no longer had the actual citation so I contacted the CHP. They said that because of the way their system was set up, they were not able to tell me which jurisdiction it was in (email
correspondence attached). Out of 4 possible counties, I sent Inyo county an inquiry
by email (correspondence attached), and queried the website case search portals of Tulare, Fresno, and Kern counties all of which yielded no results.
I recently had to come to Nevada to help my mother in law who had just broken her hip and is paying my travel expenses. This is when I learned that California has a hold on my NV license and that it is Kern county only now I do not have the money to pay. I currently have no income to speak of. In a couple of weeks when I return home to Mexico I will no longer have the Nevada Medicaid and SNAP benefits. I'm a heart failure patient so my ability to find work is extremely limited and always temporary (documentation attached). It is doubtful that I will ever visit California again. It is for these reasons and mitigating circumstances that I apologize to the court and humbly ask for a disposition of the fine and court fees as a one time amnesty. Also, that the hold on my license be lifted to prevent undue future related issues.
