Dallas, Tx - ticket for one defective headlight? - quot;fix it ticketquot;? -

If you get a ticket for violation 12 , defective lights, can you bring or mail a receipt proving it s fixed? I read a list of court fines and its almost $100 for the ticket then it says court costs which are almost $100 too, does that mean you have to pay to go to court on the ticket? Please, does someone have experience with this? I am new to this.Thank you, any info appreciated as the phone line is always busy.

The court cost is only if you want to take it to court. If you just fix the tail light and take the proof to the municipal court window, you probably won t have to pay. However, make sure you re ready to pay if something goes wrong. Several cities are trying to boost their budgets by adding made up offenses on to the tickets. If they can charge you for something, they will. You might want to read the article below in case a similar thing happens to you.http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/��

All tickets have a base fine and added fees and costs. You ll pay the same amount whether you go to court in person or not. I m not that familiar with Dallas tickets, but generally you have an officer sign off upon evidence of repair, then send it in.
