1) Can I really get a free consultation with an attorney at no obligation?

Absolutely! When you use the TixNix Ticket Wizard to analyze your ticket, a TixNix traffic ticket attorney will receive a detailed snapshot of your situation. This process eliminates much of the time it takes for the attorney to gather information, leaving him or her free to spend that time answering your questions and advising you on how to proceed.

2) Why shouldn't I just pay the fine?

In most states, paying the fine means the ticket will be on your record for the next THREE YEARS (SEVEN YEARS in Florida). Insurance companies regularly check their customers driving records and can increase insurance premiums if they find a ticket. Additionally, Texas' new "Drivers Responsibility Program" means each traffic violation conviction results in points against your driver's license. Accumulating points results in additional fines and even suspension of your license. Traffic law violations in most states are also criminal convictions, that's right, CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS! (except in Florida, unless specified) They show up on background checks done by prospective employers and can even be used as evidence against you if you are sued as a result of an automobile collision.

3) What about Drivers Safety Courses?

Driver's Safety Courses mean additional court fees, course fees and up to 8 hours of your time! The fact you took defensive driving remains on your record for an entire year, removing it as a possible solution for a future, more expensive, ticket. As a matter of fact, in some states such as Florida, traffic school can remain on a person's record for at least SEVEN YEARS. Also, in many cases, drivers forget to take the course or run out of time, resulting in a conviction on their record. Your attorney's knowledge of the law can keep that ticket off of your record without all of the hassle of a driver's safety course.

4) Can TixNix help Commercial Drivers?

Absolutely! TixNix.com lawyers welcome CDL holders because they know how important a clear license is for those that drive professionally. By Texas law, CDL holders cannot receive deferred adjudication for their traffic ticket through judicial order or by taking a Driver's Safety Course. Nowadays, even tickets received when operating a private vehicle count against your CDL and are listed on your complete abstract. Your TixNix.com lawyer will schedule your case for trial and do everything they can to prevent that ticket from getting on your record. For more information on CDL laws and regulations, click here.

5) Does my case go to trial?

In most situations, your attorney will dispose of your ticket at the arraignment (except in Florida, where pleas are done by mail). The date you are ordered to appear on your ticket is called the arraignment date and the purpose of the arraignment is to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty or no contest. If your attorney is not able to negotiate a favorable outcome for you, he or she will contact you to see if you want to go to trial. For private driver's license holders, going to trial will require an additional fee. For a CDL holder, going to trial is your only option and the fee you are charged covers the trial.

6) Is this process private?

TixNix is committed to safeguarding your privacy online.
