what do you have to tell them about your driving record? Currently my DL will not be renewed and I have a warrant issued. I was randomly pulled over (I live on the TX/Mexican border). I had just purchased my truck used and my credit union owned the title so they had to do the paperwork which took forever and caused me to go over on the registration date. Anywho I told them I had proof it had been paid for awhile back so they said it would just be a $10 dismissal fee. A few days later I called the court to get the mailing address because the DPS guy didn't give me a card with the info on it. They said they didn't have any ticket for me on file. I called back a few days later and same deal. No ticket on file. So I just said ok and went about my business after that.
Yesterday I received a note saying I missed my court date and must pay the full fine+court fine which comes out to $900 so I called. They said they finally found the ticket and entered it. I said they never notified me. I felt they should have. They said they don't do that and the fine stands so I just called my lawyer and he's going to deal with it when he gets back into town.
So it isn't speeding or anything like that. A stupid registration sticker from Nov. 2006 that's just surfacing. However if I didn't pay the $900 my DL will not be renewed and there is a warrant currently standing. Since the lawyer is going after it can I wait for the final decision or do i have to tell them I could go to jail when I show up?
