Frequently asked questions
Didn't Texas ban red light cameras?
Yes — Texas outlawed new red light camera programs statewide in 2019, and unpaid old camera tickets can't block your registration. A ticket handed to you by an officer is a different matter entirely: a Class C misdemeanor that goes on your record if you're convicted.
Can an officer-issued red light ticket be kept off my record?
Usually — deferred disposition or a driving safety course ends in dismissal for most eligible drivers, and negotiation or trial handles the rest. Attorneys in our network pick the route the particular municipal or JP court favors.
Are stop sign tickets handled the same way in Texas?
Effectively yes — both are Class C moving violations with the same fine range and the same paths to dismissal. Both are also very winnable when the signage or the officer's vantage point is questionable.
What's the downside of just paying online?
Paying is a conviction: a permanent record entry, roughly three years of insurance surcharge, and one strike toward a habitual violator suspension. The dismissal routes usually cost less than the surcharge alone.
