Question about a ticket

[Username]

Yes, I was speeding and do deserve this ticket. The problem is I have a CDL and Texas decided to pass a law that CDL holders can't take DD or deferred. If a ticket goes on my record, I'm going to lose my job. I don't need to hear the "if your job depended on it..." I've already beat myself up over that. There are 2 errors on my ticket. The date on the ticket is wrong and the box titled "C.D.L." was left blank. Any chance that multiple errors could be in my favor? Or should I plead with the judge and take the ass chewing he's going to give me?

The erroneous date would seem to me to be an exploitable error and if you can show with alibi testimony that you were elsewhere on that date, you might have gotten lucky, e.g. someone appears with you and testifies that on that date and time you were at your nephew's third birthday party.
