Why you need a Copper Canyon traffic ticket attorney

Many people don't realize that by paying a ticket, you are pleading guilty to the charge, which results in a conviction. Convictions of Copper Canyon traffic tickets or any traffic tickets is very bad. It can be very costly. First, by paying the ticket, you are probably paying close to the highest range of fines. Second, convictions stay on your driving record for three years. The more convictions you have, the more "points" you accumulate. Too many points and your driver's license will be suspended. Even if your driver's license isn't suspended, a conviction of a Copper Canyon traffic ticket can raise your insurance rates immediately. Most auto insurance companies check your driving record before agreeing to insure you or to extend your current auto insurance policy. If you have convictions, you will have to pay more money for insurance coverage. The worst part is that your insurance company won't ever voluntarily reduce your insurance rates after the conviction is removed from your driving record. It's up to you to bring it to their attention. But, who can remember to do that? Most of us just renew our insurance, not thinking to question them about a better rate. So, the bottom line is that you may end up paying years of increased insurance rates due to only one conviction.

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 violations. The number of “Points” charged varies depending on the type of ticket you are given, but ranges from one (1) to six (6) points. A Texas driver gets 2 points for most traffic violation convictions (3 points if a crash is involved). “Points” remain on a driver’s record for 3 years. 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.

That's $100.00 in addition to the high fines that were likely paid for those convictions. The surcharge continues to be assessed as long as the Points total 6 or more.

For example, multiple convictions for disorderly conduct can be enhanced to Class B or Class A misdemeanors, which carry jail time in their range of punishment. A conviction for a charge of Class C assault/family violence can be enhanced and can prohibit you from owning or possessing a firearm. Don’t “go it alone.” The long-term effects can be devastating.
