Austin Attorney Assisting Motorists With Traffic Tickets
Flashing lights are a driver’s worst nightmare. When these appear in your rearview mirror, it often means a traffic ticket is in your future. At best, this ticket may be minor, though it will still be a major stressor for you. At worst, it can put your freedom and driving privileges at risk.
Here at Ranney Law, we understand that traffic tickets are more than just a headache. For over 15 years, attorney Douglas N. Ranney has helped motorists in the Austin area stay on the road after traffic violations. If you’ve been ticketed, Douglas is ready to take the wheel and steer your case toward a successful resolution.
What Types Of Traffic Tickets Are There In Texas?
In Texas, there are a wide variety of offenses for which drivers can be ticketed. Some of the most common ones include:
- Distracted driving
- Driving without a seatbelt
- Driving without insurance
- Failing to signal
- Failing to stop for a school bus
- Reckless driving
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Speeding
- Tailgating
Motorists can be cited for more serious offenses as well, such as driving while intoxicated (DWI), hit-and-run and intoxication manslaughter. Douglas can help you understand the implications of your ticket – whether it was for a major or minor traffic offense – and defend you against the charges you’re facing.
What Are The Penalties For A Texas Traffic Ticket?
Most Texas traffic violations are punished by minor to moderate fines; these rarely exceed several hundred dollars. The impact of these fines can add up, though, if you receive several tickets in a short time span. Serious traffic offenses are often accompanied by four- or five-figure fines; in some instances, your driving privileges may also be revoked, and you may face jail time as well.
Even the most minor traffic ticket has the potential to affect your driving privileges. Protecting these is crucial and requires a lawyer’s advocacy.
