A Stop Sign or Red Light Ticket can have a very serious impact on your driving record and Auto Insurance Rates.
A vehicle operator, "shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection ... (or) at a clearly marked stop line." (TTC §544.010)
This means your tires must stop rolling before entering the crosswalk or passing the, "stop line." If you’re convicted too many times in a short period – meaning the ticket or citation is reported to Texas DPS and is “On Your Record” – your License to Drive may actually be SUSPENDED.
A citation (for running a stop sign, red light or any other alleged traffic violation) is actually a formal summons for you to appear at court and answer the allegation against you. If you fail to appear by the date listed on the citation, you can be issued a new ticket and warrants for your immediate arrest will likely issue. You have the constitutional right to be represented by an attorney if you choose - which means in most cases, we can appear for you. Our experienced and professional attorneys aggressively defend you against any alleged traffic violation. We will explain all your options for disposition and/or trial – and you decide how to proceed – the choice is always yours, but we’re here to help you understand the consequences of whatever decision you make.
