Don’t Just Pay Your Tickets Off – Understanding How Convictions Wreck Driving Records
Lawyers That Defend Tickets In Rowlett
Article 27.14 of the Code Of Criminal Procedure states that if you decide to “just go and pay off” your tickets that it will be counted as a conviction on your permanent record. That conviction will never come off your record. To be clear, it will be there as long as you are alive for any potential employer to find and use against you. It will also be there for insurance companies to see. It will be available for any prosecutor to use against you in any other case that may arise. So, those people that say, “why would I hire a Rowlett ticket attorney when I can just save a few bucks and pay them off myself…” Well, those people aren’t too bright honestly. They don’t understand the actual value of a protected and clean record. They are what we call penny wise and pound foolish.
Besides the destruction of a driving record, the true hidden cost of not properly defending traffic tickets lies in the surcharge program. Every reported conviction is tracked by The Texas Department of Public Safety. These convictions are tallied and given points. Get a conviction for the wrong type of offense and you just bought yourself a surcharge. For example, did you know that a no insurance ticket conviction is a $750.00 surcharge? Well…. It is. Did you know that you could have hired an attorney for substantially less than that to save that $750.00 surcharge from hitting your record? Well… you could.
Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. Knowledge is power. Our Rowlett ticket lawyers have that knowledge. That is what you are paying for when you hire a ticket attorney in Rowlett. You are making sure that a person with knowledge, experience and ability is there protecting you against what the State wants to take away from you.
