hello wanted to get legal advice. i received a ticket in the city of houston texas for failure to signal lane
change in may of this year. i pleaded out for defensive driving that was supposed to be completed on
september 27 of this year and was not and still has not been completed as of todays date of
12/13/2016 due to personal circumstances and financial hardship i was facing temporaily . i had a
show cause hearing on october which i was not notified of therefore i did not attend. the muncipal
courts of houston has not put this on my record yet. my is if i elect to do my defensive driving course
quickly and go to see a judge for a walk in appointment what would be acceptable reasons for not
completing defensive driving and not showing up to the show cause hearing. how can i get them to
keep it off my record? and if it does go on my record what are the consequences ( i currently have 3
surchages i paying for in the state of texas so this would be my fourth moving violation)
