Scott, Randall - Randall Scott Law Office
2321 S Belt Line Rd # 100
Grand Prairie, TX
(972) 264-4000

However, even though you only pay about $45 up front, to initiate the process, the total cost will be around $150. That's what I've experienced, anyway. Granted, costs may have changed - for better or worse. So, you may (or may not) be better off with your prepaid legal service handling the case.

Would be best to give Scott's office a call and find out.

Good luck!

--edit--

As someone else has mentioned, before you use an attorney, contact the judge, seeing if he/she will extend deferred adjudication. I've found it difficult in Dallas county, but in Tarrant no problem.

That law cited above is promising, too.

Good luck... under Texas law, it's illegal to enter the intersection if the light is yellow unless you're moving so fast it's not safe to stop.

Instead of paying an a**-ton of legal fees for on case, you pay a monthly charge and get legal help any time you need it. I think there are participating lawyers in each state. I have never tried it out (never really had a need for it). But it sounds like a good deal for the money...it's worth a shot. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7376019 Fri, 11 Jul 2003 18:12:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7375906 Wastelands : Can't you just ask the judge for deferred adjudication? I don't think you have to have a lawyer. They just check your record to see if you've had deferred adjudication within the past year. If you haven't, then you're eligible.

Cop in Richardson gave me a ticket for running a red light--the light changed while I was in mid-turn. Hoping to do deferred adjudication, have been quoted around $150 in court fees by the prepaid law service I subscribe to. Anybody know for sure if somebody else can do this for me cheaper? Please let me know... I don't have a lot of time to call around, and so far my Googling attempts have not returned much.
