Mesquite Traffic Ticket Attorney
Did you know that Mesquite Municipal Court has a new policy regarding no insurance tickets that are given. Once you have received a traffic ticket from Mesquite Municipal Court, you will have 12 days to appear in court and enter a plea. This means, you will have 12 days to show proof of your insurance from the offense date or current insurance to the court in order to protect your driving record. If you do not show proof of insurance, the court will not offer deferred adjudication to keep the ticket off your record.
If you do not receive a dismissal or deferred adjudication and this no insurance ticket goes on your record; you will not only have to pay the fine to Mesquite Municipal Court, but also pay a surcharge to Texas DPS for 3 years. A Surcharge from DPS can begin at $260.00 a year for 3 years.
If you do not have current insurance and need a little more time to get insurance, you may contact The Beltz Law Firm. Our office will first make the initial appearance for you or lift any warrant, if necessary. In the meantime, while we are waiting on a court date, you will need to provide our office with current insurance. Once we have received a court date and have a copy of your currenct insurance. The attorney will then go in and speak with the prosecutor. If our attorney cannot work out a dismissal, he will then show proof of insurance to the court to have deferred adjudication granted.

If we have not received current insurance by the court date, the attorney can reset your case to give you more time to get insurance proof to our office. Once we have received another court hearing, the attorney will go in and show proof to the prosecutor for deferred adjudication. By the second setting, if we have not received current insurance, the attorney will have no choice but to accept a straight plea with only 10 days to pay. A straight plea will be a conviction on your record and surcharges will be issued to you from DPS.
