Why You Should Fight Your Ticket

Why is it important to fight your traffic ticket?  Simply paying your fine for a traffic ticket means that you agree that you are “guilty” of the charge.  Being convicted of, or found guilty of a traffic ticket can have at least four (4) serious consequences. 

First

If you are guilty, you must pay a monetary fine.  Depending on the ticket, the fine could be several hundred dollars.  Hiring Todd E. Tkach to fight your traffic ticket could result in a dismissal of the charges.  In that event, you don’t have to pay any fine!!

Second

The State of Texas has a “Point System” that affects your right to hold and maintain a Texas driver’s license.  You are charged “Points” against your driving record if you are convicted of certain traffic tickets.  The number of “Points” charged varies depending on the type of traffic ticket you are given, but ranges from one (1) to six (6) points.  Accumulating twenty-one (21) points in any three (3) year period will result in a suspension of your driver’s license.  If that happens, you cannot legally drive an automobile in Texas.  Additionally, the State of Texas requires that you pay huge “surcharges” in order to have your license reinstated.  Let attorney Todd E. Tkach represent you and protect your driving record and your driver’s license.

Third

Convictions of traffic tickets can raise your automobile insurance rates.  Many automobile insurance companies check your driving record before agreeing to insure you or renew your automobile insurance.  Having “convictions” for traffic tickets on your driving record can cost you money.  Your automobile insurance company may increase your insurance rates when you apply for new insurance or for a renewal of your existing insurance.  Avoid paying increased insurance rates!

Fourth

Convictions of certain traffic citations can cost you “surcharges” imposed by the Texas Department of Public Safety.  For example, being convicted of driving without a valid driver’s license will cost you a $500.00 surcharge when you apply for an original or a renewal of your driver’s license.  Likewise, being convicted of driving without liability insurance will cost you a $750.00 surcharge!  Don’t risk being convicted of these charges. We’ll fight for a dismissal of these citations and the surcharges that accompany them.  If we can’t obtain an outright dismissal, we’ll fight to get a dismissal through plea negotiations and keep the charges off your driving record.
