Galveston County Traffic Ticket Defense overview:

Everyone gets in a rush sometimes, leading to a traffic ticket. Should you find yourself with a ticket in Galveston County you have the following options:

  • Jury Trial: Did you know you can ask for a jury trial for your traffic ticket? This allows you to share your side of the story with people just like you. We try jury trials ranging from traffic tickets to murder.

  • Deferred Adjudication: Here you are placed on a probationary period of anywhere from 1-180 days. If you don’t receive any other traffic convictions, your case is fully dismissed and eligible for expunction.

  • Defensive Driving: When you have not taken the defensive driving class within 1 year of the citation, you may be eligible to take the defensive driving class to have the case dismissed. If you have taken the class within the past year, you may be eligible for a discretionary allowance to take the class again. Additionally, if you are under 25 years old, you will have to take the class as a condition of any deferred adjudication.

Having too much fun can sometimes lead to a “disorderly conduct” charge. We’re frequently able to have these cases dismissed depending on the facts of the case and the evidence involved.

Enjoying a bit too much alcohol and the officers claiming you’ve become a danger to yourself or others will typically result in a public intoxication charge. Often these cases are filed with absolutely no tests and are based solely on the officer’s opinion. We handle may of the these cases and have tried several to a jury to avoid the long-term effects on your future.
