Running red light

[Angela Leon]

Jurisdiction

Texas

I got pulled over the officer said i failed to stop at the stop sign which is pysically impossible, i argued with him, he told me that's what he was charging me with. Later i looked at the ticket, it's issued for running the red light which i did not do..
I paid for defensive driving course, had till January 21,2016 to take it.. I was unable to take the test, I'm assuming i have a warrant? What can i do??

Hire a lawyer. It's way too late for DIY.

Some judges will extend the deadline even AFTER you fail to do as you agreed, if you offer a plausible explanation.

Some that can work: hospitalization, illness, death of a close family member, mental health challenges, health issues, health issues of a close family member, work sent you out of town, military obligations, are a few examples.

In some courts, I simply forgot, can I get an extension?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You can even request DEFERRED ADJUDICATION in some courts. It costs more, but does the same thing eliminates the charge. You get 60-90 days unsupervised probation and must NOT receive a traffic citation during the probationary period. If you succeed the charge gets dismissed.

Ask. Again, it can only help if granted.

Really? Physically impossible? Maybe you can explain how that can be. I see people failing to stop at stop signs all days long.
