Don't Just Pay That Traffic Ticket. It Could Cost You More Than You Think.
When you get a traffic ticket, the easiest thing to do seems like simply paying it and moving on. But paying a ticket is the same as pleading guilty — and that guilty plea goes on your driving record, raises your insurance rates, and counts toward a license suspension if you accumulate enough violations. At McLarty Law Firm, we take a different approach: we post your bond, appear in court on your behalf, negotiate with prosecutors, and work to get your tickets dismissed or reduced so they never appear on your driving record.
Why You Should Never Just Pay A Traffic Ticket
Your insurance rates increase
Even one moving violation on your record can raise your premiums significantly — often for three years or more.
Points Accumulate On Your Record
Texas uses a Driver Responsibility Program that assigns surcharges based on points. Enough violations can lead to an annual surcharge of hundreds of dollars just to keep your license.
Your License Can Be Suspended
Accumulating too many violations — or failing to pay fines and surcharges — can result in an automatic license suspension.
It Shows Up On Background Checks
Certain traffic offenses can appear on criminal background checks, depending on the nature of the violation.
