Rebuttal:
FYI, You stated exactly what you are paying to do, "wanting the ticket not to appear on my record".
Texas State Legistlature has passed laws that now allow Municipal Courts to still collect the money and fees that they make off of TRAFFIC TICKETS and other fines, while allowing you as a citizen to keep your INSURANCE RECORD clean.
Overall too many cities and municipalities have become too dependent on this income. If you examine cities budgets and such, you will find they do budget for this income. So there is a expected amount of tickets to be written and fines collected.
So much for that myth that there is "NO TICKET QUOTAS".
This is just information to make you aware that you GOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR. It may not be RIGHT or FAIR, but neither is the REAL WORLD. Personally I advocate requiring ALL FINES & FEES Collected by courts, Municipal, District, State or otherwise
should go to the STATE GOVT and then be redistributed to local cites for POLICE protection based on Population. This way there is no incintive to write more tickets or collect more fees. You still get the same amount of money.
To the Police Officers and City Govt authoritys:
DO YOUR JOB & REMEMBER THE SAYING THAT WAS POPULAR WITH POLICE IN THE 70's "TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE" THAT IS YOUR MISSION !!
