What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was at an apartment a few hours ago where alcohol was being consumed. I had a cup of beer in my hand when someone opened the door for a police officer. I was issued an MIP citation.
Here's the thing. I go to school here, but my license is from Illinois. I provided him with my name and DOB. He spelled my name wrong, but that doesn't really matter I don't think.
I was just wondering what to expect. It says I need to appear in court within 10 days from this Monday, which I plan on doing. However, I want to ask for Deferred Disposition.
This is my first offense. I have never even received a speeding ticket. Do I call the clerk first? Do I just walk in and plead No Contest and ask for deferred disposition?
Also, what am I looking at as far as penalties? The thing I'm really worried about is getting a suspended license, however I've been told by numerous people that this is HIGHLY unlikely.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
