Penalties for Non-Payment of Euless Traffic Tickets


Even a single unpaid Euless traffic ticket could potentially result in a bench warrant for your arrest, accrual of interest on your fine, additional court or filing fees, a blemish on your driving record (for traffic-related citations), you being prohibited from renewing your driver's license or vehicle registration, and/or intervention of a collection agency (and the often-harassing ways in which they attempt to recover past due amounts). Let the attorneys of Jack Byno & Associates help you today by calling 817-685-0912.

Pulled Over For Speeding in Euless?

While driving in Euless, Texas, did you hear a siren? You looked in your rear view mirror, only to find a police officer? Well, it is not an uncommon occurrence. After pulling you over, the officer probably asked for your driver's license and proof of financial responsibility (insurance). After looking at those documents, he most likely explained that he pulled you over for a traffic violation, such as, speeding. Now what do you do? Do you pay the ticket? Do you take a defensive driving class? Do you take the ticket to trial? You have these options and more. Contact the Attorneys of Jack Byno & Associates to learn more about what you can do at 817-685-0912.

Euless Area Attorney Can Help You Fight Unpaid Toll Violations

So let’s say you’ve missed a few tolls in Euless or some where else, and neglected to pay them. Not such a big deal, right? Well, you actually may be in more trouble than you think. Imagine you owed a paltry $5 in tolls. If you forget to pay within a 30 day window, you’ll be assessed a $2.50 late fee, and given another 15 days to pay. After a late notice, you’ll receive a violation invoice with a further $8.25 administrative fee per toll. This is followed by collection service, which includes a $25 administrative fee per toll. Next comes Department of public Safety (DPS) citations (another $25 per toll administrative fee) and justice of the peace courts (again, a further $25 administrative fee, this time along with civil penalties and court costs).  All figured, missing a $5 toll and forgetting to pay for six months can cost you well over $250. The worst part is that you may find yourself with  a warrant for your arrest. Call Jack Byno & Associates for more information at 817-685-0912.
