I was ticketed for speeding. What are my options?
Please call 761-7675 for information on how to handle your speeding (or other municipal) violation. As an overview, if you receive a speeding ticket from a Wichita Falls police officer, and you were operating under a Class C Driver’s License, the following alternatives may be available: (a) plead guilty and pay the fine; (b) request a trial (by jury or a bench trial before the judge); (c) request deferred adjudication through the prosecutor’s office, or (d) request permission to take defensive driving. (Generally, this option is only available for one violation every 12 months.) If you were operating under a Commercial Driver’s License when you received your citation, you do not quality for defensive driving or deferred adjudication. The following options may be available: (a) request a trial; (b) plead guilty and pay the fine; or (c) request a meeting with the prosecutor to discuss a possible reduction of the fine.
