Texas Traffic Ticket Contest

Summary

In Texas, vehicles are required to have both front and rear license plates. If you received a ticket for not having a front plate, you can contest it in court. Gather evidence, such as photos and registration documents, to support your case. Police officers have discretion in enforcing traffic laws, so not all violations are cited. If you believe your citation was unfair, presenting your case in court is the best way to challenge it. Consider consulting a traffic attorney for additional guidance.
