Where can I pay court fee's online??
My brother recently got a ticket. A lawyer went to court for him and now he has to pay lawyer fee's. I cannot find the site to do this. Can anyone provide me with the correct site to pay these fee's???
Ticket charge: failure to maintain financial responsibility but I had/have insurance, how to fight?
Most Texas courts allow what they call "compliance dismissals" - which means that the charge of Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility will be dismissed IF you follow the court's instructions. The same thing goes for other "compliance" charges such as license, registration, and inspection. Some courts charge a $10 or $20 administrative fee to dismiss the charge. I don't know what county you're in, so I can't tell you exactly what you need. But your court has a website, so there's a good chance it will have a link to its dismissal procedure. The first source below is just an example, from Galveston Municipal Court. If the court website doesn't have the info you need, call the court clerk. The second source below can be used to find contact information for any court, and to find the court's website if it has one. Just select your county, then scroll down to your court. You won't be able to use the "compliance dismissal" procedure if you already pled guilty to the insurance charge. Most plea forms are set up to accept a plea for a specific ticket number. Some also allow you specify the charge you're pleading to. If you were able to specify the lane charge on your guilty plea, you're in luck. If you received two separate tickets - one for the lane violation and one for the insurance - you're also in luck (assuming you only pled to the lane violation). If both offenses were on the same ticket and you pled guilty to the entire ticket, it'll be tough - but call the court clerk anyway and see if there's any way around that.
In A Civil Case, Can I Be Arrested If I Lose Or Fail To Appear In Court?
In a civil lawsuit, not showing up just means that you lose the case. There will be a judgment against you, but you will not be arrested. Not showing up can be a very bad decision. Consult your attorney. When the plaintiff wins a judgment, the plaintiff can get the court clerk to issue writs that could garnish your accounts, authorize the sheriff to take non-exempt property from you and deliver the proceeds to the plaintiff, place an encumbrance against property you own in California or elsewhere, etc. A recorded judgment will show up on your credit report. The judgment likely will include the principle debt, court costs (including the added costs of subsequent writs and other post-judgment actions), attorneys fees, and post-judgment interest. So the judgment debt grows as time goes by. Consult your attorney. The court may require you to submit to post-judgment discovery. Failure to deliver documents to the plaintiff or failure to appear at deposition could result in your incarceration. Consult your attorney.
How do you find out criminal charges against a person?
By Darren Chaker, Computer Search & Seizure writes on record sealing, computer forensics, and First Amendment issues.If the person is in jail, look at the jail’s website and most will show you the name, charged offense, and next court date. If not call the jail as ask. Last, tactic, go to the court website or court house, ask to see the court file since it is a public record. You can crack it open and and see what the charges are. I hope my answer helped you out.
What will MOST LIKELY happen at his court date? ?
failing to appear and they are both felonies. not sure what you mean he did a year for them. obviously he did not complete something or they would say time served. my guess is he served a year, was on probation, and did not fulfill his probation. he could be staying in jail or prison for a while.
Can Pizza Hut take me to court over a $8 bounced check. I NEED LEGAL ADVICE!?
You were sued. Of course you can be sued - you received goods and didn't pay for them. You have three options: 1. Call the attorney who sued you and try to settle the matter immediately. THe attorney probably doesn't want to go to trial and cost Pizza Hut more money which means even more legal fees. The attorney may as for $8.00 plus attorneys fees to date. 2. File an "Answer" to the Complaint within the time limit you have. You can go to your local court's website and get info on doing this. You better know what you are doing or you could "default" and automatically LOSE. You then have to pay whatever the attorney for Pizza Hut asks for. 3. Go to trial and fight it. Normally, in the United States, you cannot be assessed attorneys fees unless it was in a contract OR there is some law which allows for it. Based on my experience, Pizza Hut could not get attorneys fees because there was no written contract allowing them to collect attorneys fees AND there is no law allowing for you to be responsible for their attorneys fees. With this lawsuit, Pizza Hut is trying to make a point - that they won't put up with stealing. I suggest you call up the attorney and offer $50 to drop the lawsuit and settle with them. They should be happy with that. If the attorney demands attorneys fees, just tell him that by law you aren't responsible for any attorneys fees and see where it goes. You should also get an attorney ASAP if the above doesn't work.
What does it mean to be bounded to superior court?
Hello Alicia. I will respectfully disagree with the posters above me. Being bound over to superior court means a person was originally charged with a misdemeanor crime. The DA's office went over the details of the offense and decided a felony crime was committed. This went to the Grand Jury which returned a vote to indict. This indictment is what is going to the superior court, where he will have another arraignment hearing since this is a "new" charge as a felony. If he is not granted an ROR bond and cannot afford his bond/bail, he will then sit in jail until he goes to trial for the felony charge. I hope this helps and you can find it useful
What does it mean when somebody’s name disappears off of a court website before their court date even comes up?
If the file was in the system, and now isn't in the system, then that generally means it was resolved. That might mean that the prosecutor and defence reached a plea agreement, and called the file ahead to speak to the plea and sentencing. It might mean that the prosecutor has decided to withdraw the charges. In a civil case, it means a settlement was reached.I recently had a file involving a high-profile criminal in our jurisdiction who had been the target of a couple of attempts on his life. We didn't want his file to be able to be found using the only search, so we applied to court for an order that it be indexed in a different manner, and got a publication ban generally on the file. We were concerned that members of the rival gang were tracking him via his court appearances, and that they would try and kill him while he was at court. So that's an unusual example of why a search for his name & file wouldn't turn up anything.
