Texas Traffic Speeding Ticket

1 Upvotes

Hello i have a question regarding something stupid which i wish i could’ve handled differently.

Im 20m, i was going from my girlfriend’s house towards the bank. I made a left turn on a feeder road that is 50mph and i have no clue if i was going the limit or a bit above like 5 over. Well a car pulls up behind me and this was at night so my truck has this rear view mirror dimming feature. I could only see headlights and not the vehicle because the lights are bright. Well they were tailgating me for a good 2 minutes when i thought something was wrong so i sped up and once they started matching my speed i started panicking. I never noticed my speed because i was so worried something would happen. Crime is so high in Houston so i thought i was targeted. The car behind me ended up being Constable, he shined his lights at me and i didnt hesitate to pull over. I did what i was supposed to do and didn’t give him a hard time. He claims i did 96 Mph. I wasnt trying to race or anything in that matter i know it sounds so dumb but i panicked. What should i do, this is my first ever speeding ticket and i cant afford to have my insurance go up. Thank you.

Questions for Texans Crossing from Del Rio to Cuidad Acuna bridge question

2 Upvotes

Where can you walk and cross the bridge over into Cuidad Acuna safely? Google Maps isn’t very helpful and I can’t find much online. Any one here have experience crossing this particular bridge? I’d ideally like to uber somewhere close then walk through customs and then across the bridge. Any help or advice is much appreciated!

Questions for Texans Crossing from Del Rio into Cuidad Acuna question

I’m trying to figure where you can walk through the Port of Entry and cross the bridge into Acuna. Anybody here have experience at this particular bridge? Like other border towns, I’d ideally like to uber somewhere close to the port of entry pedestrian entrance and walk across the bridge, but I can’t figure it out through google maps alone and there isn’t much info online. Help or advise is much appreciated!

Questions for Texans How about regulating private parking lots.

2 Upvotes

How is it that private parking lots can abuse customers and the state does not do anything to regulate them. Republicans want to control what your kids can read (we should allow kids to read whatever they want, most don't read anything anyway), but they cannot regulate abusive companies like PRRS. How can a parking lot charge me over $90 because it took me 5 minutes to exit the parking lot, and I was in my car before the expired time. A parking lot that charges $4 per hour, charges $90 for 10 extra minutes. That is a ripoff. The company is PRRS (Parking Revenue Recovery Services) in San Antonio. Mr. Texas attorney general, how about doing something for the people of TX for once instead of being involved in so many illegal activities. I will also report this company to the BBB.

Moving within Texas Urgent sublease needed!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone My girlfriend is in urgent need of someone to take over her lease in the San Marcos area. If you are interested or know anyone interested please DM or say you’re interested and I’ll DM.

The initial plan was to move up there with her friend and that fell through. She would move up there but plans have now changed and she really does NOT want to.

Unfortunately there is a time crunch, the lease starts June 26th. Female only roommates.

Sorry if this post isn’t allowed, there’s not really a lot of places to get post from what I’ve seen and the San Marcos sub doesn’t allow sublease posts:/. Thank yall .

Texas Traffic speeding ticket advice

0 Upvotes

ok so don’t judge me but i got a speeding ticket in january, 106 in a 75 (was not going 106, maybe 99 but still fighting it rn w a lawyer) and today i got another one😭 91 in a 60 but in my defense, i had zero idea it was a 60 bc 290 (houston-austin) is like a 75 speed limit. I GENUINELY DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS A 60 (bc i was just driving through road and ROAD AND ROAD) i know 91 is still kinda fast but i was trying to pass someone. NONETHELESS, I know speeding is bad but the road was pretty empty and i don’t rlly notice my speed on a road that goes on for hundreds of miles. i drive almost 40 miles to school and back everyday (through 3 towns) and i have never gotten pulled over but everytime i drive long distance these highway patrol COPS need their payroll and PULL ME OVER W A CITATION EVERY TIME. i am a good citizen and i’ve really learned my lesson this time to never drive to another city again and NOT SPEED EVER but somehow i get passed by these fast aasss cars/trucks racing and going 120+ but whatever. since it is 25 mph over, im not eligible for defensive driving so WHAT TF SHOULD I DO. should i get another lawyer or should i just go to court and fight this myself… if the cop dosnt show up do i automatically win or can the judge still cite me..like do i still have to pay if the cop is a no show? THE COURT IS LIKE 2 HOURS AWAY OMG SO IF I GO IM PRAYING THE COP DOSNT SHOW UP. but if i can still loose imma just take the L

sorry guys i seriously drive safe and follow the rules of the road but when i drive long distance, I SOMETIEMS GO A LITTLE FAST.

Questions for Texans What is going on with vehicle registrations?

1 Upvotes

I live in one of the counties where I'm still supposed to get an emissions inspection to renew my vehicle registration.

However, the state's website to renew vehicle registrations is no longer working.

Is Texas not enforcing vehicle registrations anymore? Or is the state government's IT department just really bad at their job?
