Dismissible Offenses

Some violations MAY be dismissed if they meet certain criteria. If your violation is not listed below, then it cannot be dismissed. Although Texas State law states you must correct the violation within 20 working days, you must respond to the court within ten calendar days to inform the Court on the status of correcting the violation.

This is not Court Policy, this is the Law.
