Deferred Disposition Policy for Traffic Violations
Code of Criminal Procedure Article 45.051
Suspension of Sentence and Deferral of Final Disposition
The defendant must enter a plea of no contest or guilty and make a written request to the Court for Deferred Disposition. The request must be made by the due date on the ticket.
When a request is made to the Court in a timely manner and all requirements are met the defendant will be granted deferred disposition. The defendant will be notified by mail of the fee amount due, the length of probation period and the date the fee should be received in this Court.
If the Court does not receive the fee by the due date on the letter, the fee will revert back to the original fine. Court costs and warrant fees will be added to the fine and you will be entered into the Remote Entry System through Austin. They will process the information submitted by our Court and your driver's license will be suspended.
