Collin County has long been known to be one of the toughest on criminal offenses in Texas. Believe it or not, a traffic ticket is considered a criminal offense. The punishment range for a traffic ticket is almost identical to being charged with any of the following Class “C” misdemeanors:
-
Possession of Paraphernalia
-
Assault by Contact
-
Theft Under $50.00
-
Public Intoxication
Traffic Tickets can cause a person’s driver’s license to be suspended. Traffic tickets can also be reported to DPS as convictions which may cause financial surcharge penalties to be assessed against a person. These surcharges can be as high as $780.00 and can be charged multiple times against a driver.

I received a ticket for running a stop sign in McKinney by a DPS trooper last week (my 1st tkt in 7 yrs) and he submitted some wrong information about my truck, writing that it is a 1500 Dodge Ram pickup instead of the right info which is that the truck is a 2500 Dodge Ram which is a glaring error about the size of the pickup. I was curious if this would be enough of an error for a dismissal??
Very good question Michael. The ticket itself is not worth the paper its written on after you enter a plea of “not guilty.” What you really want to take a look at is the complaint to see if there are errors there. A complaint is a sworn document that you are entitled to under Article 45.018 of The Code of Criminal Procedure. If this docuement is not provided to you at least 1 day prior to any hearing in your case, then your consitutional rights to procedural due process have been violated and you can request dismissal based on that violation. If the document is provided, then you can look to see if there are errors on that document. However, based on the error listed above, the wrong listing of the model is usually considered a minor issue that can be cleared up through the police officer’s testimony. Remember, that the jury only need be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the person pulled over was you. You would have to convince the jury that they should doubt the officer pulled you over because your truck was not the one listed. I would think this would be hard to do just based on information given in the post above.
