Because they do not report now does not mean they will not report in the future.

I got a ticket for speeding coming into I think it was Bracketville when my husband and I were going to Big Bend in college. It was right where the highway changes from 60 to 45 or something like that. Anyway, the guy clocked me before I even reached the change in speed limit sign, it was BS.

When I called the number on the ticket to find out about doing defensive driving so it wouldn't go on my record the actual JUDGE answered the phone. I was like 19 at the time and it totally freaked me out. He said something like "Why would you want to do defensive driving, that's a waste of time. Why don't you just send in a money order made out to me and it won't go on your record."

I called my grandfather, who used to be HPD, to ask him what he thought of it...he said just keep a record of everything and do what the judge said. It never did go on my record, but I always thought that was kind of shady.

Sorry, I know that is of no help to the original posted...just thought I would share my small town ticket story.

similar thing happened to me when i got an MIP floating the frio river back around 2001. all contact was with the judge and i sent him a check for like $150 or $200 so it wouldnt go on my record.

I have the same situation as CBronson except my ticket took place in Lake Charles be a state trooper. If I have a TX lisence can they do anything to me outside of poppin me when I take my winnings from l'auberge?

May block your DL renewal in Texas. Texas and Louisiana have a reciprocity agreement. Like Aggie said, it depends on how aggressive the local agency is in reporting.

I've ignored tickets in small towns that just went away after a while, but they may report a failure to appear to DPS, blocking your next DL renewal.
