Common Traffic Offenses in Texas

Texas laws provide police officers with a long list of traffic offenses for which they can issue traffic tickets, including:

• Speeding
• Passing a stopped school bus
• Failing to obey a stop sign
• Failing to stop for a red light
• Reckless driving
• Driving without a license or with a suspended license
• Failing to yield the right of way

If you ignore a traffic ticket and fail to appear in court on your scheduled court date, the judge can issue a warrant for your arrest. Retaining criminal defense representation to handle your traffic tickets avoids the risk of missing a court date.

Consequences of Traffic Ticket Convictions

Pleading guilty to a traffic ticket adds points to your driving record. When you accumulate too many points, your license to drive is suspended. If you earn a living by driving, suspension of your driver's license could prevent you from supporting your family and result in the loss of your job.
