Deferred Adjudification Question... My wife got a speeding ticket on Bush from a State Trooper today for 21 over. She's took defensive driving in Plano about 10mos ago for another ticket, but since this one isn't a City of Plano Ticket (This one is for the Justice of the Peace) can she take it again?
I know if you get tickets in different cities within 12mos of each other, that you can still take defensive driving for both, but is it the same for the JOP?
Any constructive insight would be welcome... flamers would be better off just moving on
Thanks!

Yes I was referring to the class. I'm not really sure if they actually check on the defensive driving. In the past I have done the deferred in different counties and they never checked or said anything about being on probation somewhere else. The courts just want your $$$$ thats the bottom line.

do the deferred thing, pay for the ticket and dont get another one in that county for 3 mths. never goes on your record. I had 4 different ones in 4 different counties all at one time about a year ago. still havent seen anything on my record and my insurance hasnt raised a cent.
I think he is talking about having to take DD in addition to getting deferred. Correct? If so that DD doesn't count against you taking DD or anything it was just an added provision the judge or DA put on the deal you made with the city etc.. I personally never take those deals, but they always push them! In other words you treat it like you haven't had any tickets and do what ever you want with the new ticket I alway go for the deferred the cost almost always equals out once you figure in the court cost and the cost of the DD course no to mention your time to go and take DD Good luck and if I was wrong about understanding what you were saying then sorry. If you were on a Deferred and got another ticket before the probationary period was up your ok, cause the key work is Convicted! The terminoligy says "If you are convicted of another trafic infraction." Not if you get one as they have to prove you guilty before the can hang you. And so you can post pone the ticket or get on another deferred if you can.

Alright, here is what you do in either situation....
If you want to do defensive driving, have her reset the COURT DATE a few times. This would put her past the 12 month period. Thats why you have to get your driving record now. If you have taken defensive driving for a ticket ANYWHERE in Texas during the last 12 months, it will show up on your driving record.
I prefer the deferred method.... Pay the court costs and an "admin" fee (at least in Hunt County) and you are good. Have her explain that she took DD 10 months ago, thats why she wants the deferred, and they should be cool about it.

It all depends, some courts check as well before they will approve you for the DD.

Probably should have mentioned this before... she's under 25 so she has to take DD with DA according to the new state regulations. It sounds like we just need to reset our court date a couple times and get it pushed back 90-120 days so the other DD/DA goes off and we can do it again.
Am I understanding that right?
