What is the name of your state? Tx
I received a court appointed attorney for a class A midsmeanor and we agreed to a differed ajuciation program with the state prosecutor. Under the term i am suppose to pay $225 in court costs, $250 in fines, and take an anger management class. I signed a judgement to this agreement in which i understood the terms and received 2 copies of the judgement. I signed and then dated everything and handed it over to the judge and prosecution. I leave the courtroom and go over to collections to make up a payment plan for these fines. The collections department says i owe 1,475 dollars in fines. I told them they have the wrong person and they said no they dont. They then sent me up to the county clerks office to discuss this matter. They show me the original judgemnet which has been altered after I signed it. After i signed everything there is a box to check for court appointed attorney fees which was blank when i signed it. Well someone wrote a $1000 dollars in court appointed attorney fees box. Keep in mind that I have my 2 copies of the judgement showing that when i signed and received my copies of the judgemnent that the court appointed attorney box was blank. I am really upset about this and I would of never signed this judgement with this on there. What should I do? The altering of legal court documents in a court room! The legality of this is basically illegal and the irony of this is this happened in a court room. I could use some advice.
