Hey guys, I need some help.
About two months ago I got a speeding ticket for 36 in a 30 and a failure to stop for rolling through a stop sign, all at the same time. The area I got the ticket is under the jurisdiction of Precinct 4 of Harris County, Texas. Also known as Humble/Atascacita. So I got the tickets, I waited a week for processing like the ticket says to do and tried to pay for them, only they weren't in the system yet, I tried again the next week, and the next week until I forgot to check every week. Last week I checked because I knew my court date was coming up. Still, nothing. Now today, less than three days before the court date on my ticket I log on to the Justices of the Peace website again, and there my cases appear, and I got really ticked. I thought the officer must have lost my ticket or something, nope he's just amazingly slow. http://web.jp.hctx.net/CaseInfo/GetCaseInf...se=TR42X2197342 If you scroll down you will see the ticket wasn't added until last Tuesday, the 22nd, less than a week before my day in court on the 28th. It should have been added over SIX weeks ago. I was just going to pay for my citations and comply, but now I want to fight. And I was wondering if his lacking ability to process my ticket can be used to my advantage to have these tickets dismissed. Can I use this as ammo? Anyone have ANY experience in this situation? Or one like it? Or just experience fighting tickets at all? Please help |

DA? Does a DA actually show up? What kind of slacker-ass loser failed his/her way through law school to become a DA in traffic court!
 Here you just stand in line and wait to be heard by the judge. I don't think there's any actual attorney or DA or prosecutor at all. Just you and the judge and I guess the cop. But hey, what do I know, I've only ever gotten one speeding ticket, and that was like ten years ago when I got picked off for having NY plates in eastern Oregon. --------------------  |
