Traffic Violations in Eastland County
The Texas Transportation Code governs all traffic violations in Eastland County. Moving violations under Chapter 545 are Class C misdemeanors. The fine on your citation includes the base amount plus mandatory court costs. The total you owe is higher than the base fine. Check the total amount due before you pay or make any other arrangement with the court.
Deferred disposition is an option for most Class C traffic violations. You plead guilty or no contest, pay the fee, and serve a probation period. No new violations during the probation means the case is dismissed without a conviction. The probation period is usually 90 to 180 days. You must ask for this before or at your court date.
The Driver Safety Course dismissal is also available. Take an approved 6-hour course within 90 days of court approval. Submit the certificate and a Type 3A certified driving record from Texas DPS to the court. This is good once every 12 months. CDL holders and some violations are excluded. See TexasCourtHelp for full eligibility rules.
