CDL Violations Practice
Can’t be in Court on the Day of Your CDL Violation Hearing?
For many CDL drivers, making a personal appearance in court can be quite difficult. You have ridged driving schedules with difficulty changing your driving schedules with your employers to make a court appearance. Additionally, many CDL drivers receive citations in jurisdictions that are, not only hundreds or thousands of miles from their homes, but places that they may rarely drive through. Therefore, a court appearance could require a separate lengthy trip for a court appearance.
Fortunately, it is rarely necessary for you to be present on the day of your hearing. If you can’t be in court on the day of your hearing either because of prior commitments, work, you’re out of the state, or you just don’t want to take the time; no problem! Attorney Todd E. Tkach can make the court appearance for you.
Even if you’re not in court, attorney Todd E. Tkach will fight to have your citation dismissed outright! If he can’t get an outright dismissal, he’ll aggressively negotiate for a plea arrangement to keep the citation off your driving record.
Call Todd E. Tkach, P.C. at (214) 999-0595 now to talk to one of our courteous staff members, who can explain the process to ultimately resolve your case without any effect on your driving record and answer any questions you may have.
We Can Represent You For Suspensions Too!
Not all CDL violations can be dismissed or have no effect on driving records. The facts of each case, the specific charge, the court of jurisdiction, the prosecutor and the county of the violation are all factors that impact the final resolution of a CDL traffic case. Unfortunately, convictions of some CDL violations or convictions of a combination of certain CDL violations within a specific time frame can result in a suspension or disqualification of your CDL. If you are faced with a possible suspension or disqualification of your CDL, we can help! The suspension or disqualification process starts with the Texas Department of Public Safety (“TxDPS”) filing a Petition for Disqualification in one of the Justice of the Peace Courts in the county of your residence. TxDPS is required to send you a dated Notice Letter, from which you have 20 days to request a hearing. Failure to timely request a hearing will result in a suspension or disqualification of your CDL, so you must act fast. We have represented hundreds of CDL drivers at Driver License Suspension Hearings throughout the State of Texas. In most cases, there are procedural or substantive defenses for the CDL driver. Our success rate is extremely high. In fact, we have won many cases even when the CDL driver did exactly what TxDPS accused them of doing.
