Upon receiving a threatening Failure to Appear ticket, your first inclination might be to pay the fine outright. Do not succumb to that temptation. Our traffic lawyers are well-versed in how to get failure to appear dismissed Texas tickets.

Traffic Citation Appearance Requirements

Upon receiving a traffic citation, you are presented with a couple of options on the ticket itself. Your ticket will direct you to pay the fine outright or an end date to contact the court (otherwise known as the appearance date). Each court will have its own specific requirements for what form of contact is acceptable (i.e. phone, Zoom, in person). If you fail to contact the court by the date on your citation, you will be issued an additional ticket for failing to appear.

Violation Payment Consequences

Simply paying the traffic violations outright may carry additional unforeseen consequences, including:

  • waiving your right to contest, guilty plea admitted
  • ticket(s) added to your permanent driving record
  • 10% – 30% increased insurance rate
Deferred Disposition Offers

Often the court may compromise and extend a deferred disposition. In these cases, the court will not convict you on the condition certain requirements are met. Typically these requirements include:

  • timely completion of driver’s safety class
  • no new tickets received during the deferral period (usually 3-6 months)
Warrant for Arrest

Generally, if you have failed to appear by the court’s standards, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. Also, if you’ve received multiple traffic convictions, your license may be subject to suspension. We will negotiate with the court on your behalf to avoid a conviction and seek to have the case dismissed.

How to Get Failure to Appear Dismissed Texas

To get your failure to appear ticket dismissed, hire representation as soon as possible. The longer you have an FTA ticket out (and most likely a warrant) the more likely additional penalties will be levied. Give us a call for a free consultation, and we’ll begin negotiating with the courts for dismissal & removal of warrants. We’re here to help.
