Receiving a traffic ticket in Rockwall County, Texas, can be more than just a minor inconvenience; it can have lasting consequences on your driving record, insurance rates, and even your criminal history. At the Beltz Law Group, we understand the stakes involved. With over 50 years of combined attorney experience, our legal team offers unparalleled insight and a unique approach to defending traffic tickets in Rockwall Municipal Court and the various Justice of the Peace courts across Rockwall County.
Experience from All Sides of the Bench
What truly sets the Beltz Law Group apart is the diverse and comprehensive experience of our attorneys. Each lawyer in our office is not only a seasoned defense attorney, but they also bring invaluable insights from having served as prosecutors and even judges in municipal court settings.
This extensive background from all sides of the legal process allows us to:
- See Cases from a Deeper Perspective: We don’t just understand defense strategies; we know how prosecutors build their cases and what judges consider when making decisions. This “inside” knowledge gives us a significant advantage in anticipating arguments and crafting robust defenses.
- Identify Weaknesses in the Prosecution’s Case: Our experience as former prosecutors means we can often spot procedural errors, insufficient evidence, or other vulnerabilities in the state’s case that a less experienced defense attorney might miss.
- Negotiate Effectively: Our familiarity with court procedures and the typical concerns of prosecutors and judges allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, working towards the best possible outcome for your individual case. We understand the motivations of all parties involved, which facilitates more effective negotiations.

Our Goal: Protecting Your Record
When you hire the Beltz Law Group for a traffic ticket in Rockwall County, our main goal is always to protect your driving record and criminal history from damaging convictions. We know that a conviction can lead to:
- Increased Auto Insurance Premiums: Your rates can skyrocket and remain elevated for years.
- Driver’s License Suspensions: Accumulating convictions can put your driving privileges at risk.
- Negative Impact on Background Checks: Convictions can appear on background checks for employment, housing, and other opportunities.
Simply paying the ticket is an admission of guilt and will result in a conviction on your record. We strive to avoid this at all costs.
Our Strategic Defense Process
When defending your traffic ticket in Rockwall County, our approach is meticulous and proactive:
- Plea of “Not Guilty”: The first step we take is entering a plea of “not guilty” on your behalf. This does not necessarily mean that you are denying the factual occurrence of the offense. Instead, it is a crucial legal maneuver that shifts the burden of proof entirely onto the prosecutor. They must then present sufficient evidence to prove the speeding violation beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Challenging the Evidence: If the prosecutor cannot meet their burden of proof—perhaps due to an absent officer, issues with radar calibration, or other evidentiary weaknesses—we will vigorously demand that the case be dismissed. A dismissal means the offense will not appear as a conviction on your record.
- Negotiating for Record Protection: If the evidence is strong and a dismissal is unlikely, our experience from all sides of the courtroom becomes even more critical. We work with the prosecutor to negotiate the best possible resolution designed to protect your record. This often includes:
- Deferred Disposition: A probationary period that, upon successful completion, results in the case being dismissed, preventing a conviction.
- Driving Safety Course: For eligible offenses, arranging for you to take a state-approved defensive driving course to achieve a dismissal.
