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 |

Yeah what everyone else says, if you feel like going to court, and the cop dosent show, it should be dismissed. Its up to them to provide the proof. Most people that I know dont go through all the troble, they just pay the fine. It does suck with all those added fees though. Glad my 80 in a 60 didnt have extra fees...220 was bad enough. On the good note if I dont get a ticket in Grapevine again withing three months from the date it dosent go on my record! GL with the ticket.
