I live in Texas too.\nYou have a lot of capias profines there.\n\nSome Jails give you $100.00 a day credit --so you are looking at 15-20 days;however if you can make trusty status, the credit is increased.\nCall your county jail and find out. Even if your fines are municipal fines, I don't know if your city jail will keep you that long. Most transfer you to the county jail.\n\nYou look awful young......You have to be 17 years old & up to be booked into an adult facility.

This depends on state law, and the judge handeling the case.  Depending on these factors, you may be given extra time, a higher fine, or even jail time.

Depends on where you are when you are ticketed.

If you are going more than 10% higher than the speed limit ie 67 in a 60 zone or 56 in a 50 zone then you can get points and a fine.\n\nI got points and a fine for 34 in a 30 zone. \n\nIt can take up to a month for the fine etc to come through - there is no time limit on it.

The tickets have already been issued, so the statute of limitations no longer applies. After a certain period of time (usually 60-90 days after the court date), the unpaid fines may turn into arrest warrants. If they do, the statute of limitations no longer applies.\n\nIf you failed to show up to court, you could have had a Failure to Appear warrant issued for you. If the warrant was issued, the statue of limitations no longer applies.\n\nThe statute of limitations only limits the amount of time the government has to "initiate prosecution". It does not limit the amount of time the government has to arrest you. Once a warrant (or ticket) has  been issued, the government has initiated prosecution. Once that has been done, it will be there until you are either arrested or die.

I was jailed for 10 months for assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. I lied to the police about the whereabouts of my then boyfriend who was wanted by the police. My boyfriend had stabbed somebody that beat up his sister badly and i covered up for him. I thought my sentence was pretty harsh and still do as hit and run drivers get a fine and 3 points even if the victim dies.I wasn't a danger to or harmed anyone.

Not all cities turn thier traffic offenses into the national or state data bases.  don't know why but they dont'.\n\nAnd often while it would show up, a ticket over 3 years ago is not normally taken into consideratioini.\n\nAnd then on the 5 month old ticket, often it can take months for some departments to show thier convictions onto the state system.\n\nso it is possible, he did not worry about a 3 year old ticket and the other one is not in the system yet.\nwith court backlogs, I have seen it take 5 months to a year for some courts to enter the information into the state system.

Yep..knowling driving with a suspended licenses..second offense..ten days in jail..sounds about right.\nAs for her being pregnant, she maybe able to get a physician to address the court, if he/she feels it would be harmful to her and her unborned baby to sit in jail for ten days. The judge may put her on a gps tracking device, or house arrest until after the birth of her child, and then she may have to do her jail time.\n\nShe should seek the advice of an attorney.\nLegal Aid

Convicted of DUI earlier this year.  NC, Wake county, first offense, 30-45 days suspended sentence and a year probation.  Substance abuse counseling before i can get my license back.  If you're lucky you wont have to see your car.  Dont get Caught.

Not much! You might get 30 days in jail unless it's your first offense in which you will probably get probation.

In the US, you are arrested on probable cause, if you can not make bail you will be held till court.  ( this can take up to a year in some cases)

If you read the back of the ticket you will see that you had 15 days in which to pay voluntarily which was even a reduced fine. Now it's too late, you must attend or you won't have an opportunity to fight it. If you don't want to fight it the court will make a ruling that you have to pay and if you don't you won't be allowed to renew your drivers license. My pet peeve is when people ask these questions they don't say what country or state they are in so you may not be getting a correct answer from ANYONE on this. Please just go to court-play it safe! And since you will be there anyway-just contest it-believe me-it's FUN and you have more than an 80 percent chance of winning as the cops rarely show up due to rotation on their shift or they are usually too busy or needed elsewhere. If the cop doesn't show but you do -you're walking out of there with all your money.

It depends on if he was convicted before.  First offense is usually 30 days in jail, a hefty fine and suspension of the driver's license.  Community service might be required as well.  \n\nOther effects can include an instant jump in insurance rates, loss of commercial driver licenses, and manditory drug/alcohol abuse counciling.

A year, or year and  a half. Unless you pay a fine/fee to speed up the process

Parking tickets won't reflect on your driving record... unless you don't pay them and your license is suspended.  So as long as you keep paying you can keep blocking those fire hydrants!

you should have went in those 30 days and more and likely that is what a judge is going to say. he is  probably going to make you pay the ticket anyway plus court fees so if i was you i would just pay the ticket.
