Insurance Violations

"A second or subsequent conviction of an offense under the Texas Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act will result in the suspension of your driver's license and motor vehicle registration unless you file and maintain evidence of financial responsibility with the Department of Public Safety for 2 years from the date of the conviction. The department may waive the requirement to file evidence of financial responsibility if you file satisfactory evidence with the department showing that at the time this citation was issued, the vehicle was covered by a motor vehicle liability insurance policy or that you were otherwise exempt from the requirements to provide evidence of financial responsibility."

Juveniles

If you are under age 17, you cannot prepay the fine. State law requires that you appear in court with a parent or legal guardian. A child under 17 and parent required to appear before the Court have the obligation to provide the Court in writing with the current address and residence of the child. The obligation does not end when the child reaches the age of 17.

Driving Safety Course

"You may be able to require that this charge be dismissed by taking a driving safety course. However, you will lose that right if you do not provide written notice to the Court on or before your appearance date of your desire to do so." This right applies to 1 charge only. Call for More information.

Failure to Appear in Court

Failure to appear or failure to pay fines may result in:

• Denial of renewal of your driver's license
• The filing of an additional charge of failure to appear and the issuance of a warrant for your arrest
• The case sent to collections and additional charges being added
