What happens if I hire you to plea my case?

​The same day that you retain our office we will notify the court that we are your Attorney.  The Fort Worth Municipal Court will place your case onto an "Attorney docket" for us to appear on your behalf.  We will request deferred adjudication (probation) to keep the violation off your driving record.  After we find out how much your fine amount will be we will notify you via US mail with instructions.

If you retain our office to set your case for a TRIAL you would be required to appear at both the Pre-Trial and Trial dockets.  Our office will notify your via US mail of any required Court appearances.

If I let my insurance lapse, can you help me?

​If you did not have valid proof of liability insurance at the date and time of your ticket being issued your insurance violation will not be dismissed.  We can, however, still help you to keep the ticket off your driving record.  At this time the Fort Worth Municipal Court Judges are granting deferred adjudication (probation) to defendants who provide proof of current insurance.  A condition of your probation may be to provide proof of maintaining insurance throughout your probation period.

​Once our office receives an offer from the Court regarding your case we will notify you via US mail.  We will follow up with a telephone call to make sure you received our letter.  It is very important to follow all written and verbal instructions regarding your Fort Worth ticket because if you are granted deferred adjudication (probation) we must have your money order in hand to accept the offer.​

​Our office can assist you with your Fort Worth Municipal Court warrants as long as you have not entered into a plea agreement or payment plan with the Court.  The Fort Worth Municipal Court requires Attorneys to hand deliver an appearance bond for each warrant issued.  Your warrant will be active until the Judge signs the appearance bond.

How long will it take to lift my warrant?

​Since the Fort Worth Municipal Court requires all Attorney appearance bonds to be hand delivered the time frame may vary.  We will make every attempt to have your warrant lifted as soon as possible.  The time frame may vary based on the time of day we are retained, the Attorney's schedule and the Court's schedule.  When we are hired we will be able to give you a more accurate time frame.

Will I have to take a driving safety course?

​If you were under 25 years old when you received your ticket the current Texas State Law requires you to complete a driving safety course as a condition of your probation.  Depending on your driving record and what you were charged with the Judge may add a driving safety course to your conditions of probation.  We will notify you via US mail if you are required to take a Texas State approved driving safety course.​
