Accindent in turn lane

[a40218t]

What is the name of your state? Texas
I had an accident in the turn lane. I was avoiding a collision in the main lane of a four lane road (2 against 2 with a center turn lane) so I moved over into the turn lane. So I indicated right, to get back into the main lanes as an intersection was approaching and I wanted to go straight. As I was indincating, I was moving as it was ruch hour and no one would let me into the main lanes. The other party was allowed access from a shopping complex to cross the mainlanes and we collided as she entered into the turn lane. The cop gave me a ticket for driving in the turn lane not to turn left or over take.

Do I have any re-course?????

My response:

Recourse to do what? Clearly, you were wrong. It doesn't matter what you were thinking, or that you were indicating. The fact is, you were in the left-turn lane and didn't turn left.

End of discussion.
