Fees for CDL citations are $150.00 per offense on the citation not in warrant and $250.00 per offense on the citation if the ticket is in warrant or past the appearance date.

3.02 PAYMENT PLANS. We do accept payment plans for most cases. In order to qualify for a payment plan you must have a valid credit/ATM card from VISA, Mastercard or Discover. You will be required to accept a monthly recurring charge on your credit account until the balance is paid in full. Our office will divide the number of months (not to exceed 6 months). Once this number is calculated, we will round up to the next round dollar figure to alleviate odd billing amounts and to cover the cost that we incur by running your card multiple times. Further, if your card is declined anytime during the payment plan period, we reserve the right to modify the payment terms in order to avoid having an unpaid balance for the fees you owe at the time the card is declined.
3.03 PAYMENTS MADE BY THIRD PARTIES. If a third party makes a payment on your behalf or enters into a payment plan with our office and that credit card declines, we reserve the right to take legal action against you for the default. Any third party making a payment understands agrees to the terms of this agreement insofar as it pertains to our office drafting monthly recurring charges from any card given to this office on behalf of a client. They understand that we will not provide services to any client without having a valid payment plan in place for the full amount of the monies owed. All third parties agree that if a credit card is cancelled and/or if claims of fraud are asserted against The Beltz Law Firm after receiving and accepting payment, that The Beltz Law Firm reserves the right to pursue legal action against that third party for procuring services for a client that they never truly intended to pay for causing The Beltz Law Firm to rely on those affirmations to its detriment. That if litigation is brought, the third party will be responsible for any and all attorney’s fees in association with the claim.
TAuthorization for City of Dallas Traffic Ticket
4.01 The attorney shall handle your ticket in the following manner:
1. if your ticket is in warrant status the attorney shall post an attorney bond within the next 4 working days
2. the attorney shall request a trial by jury setting, if you have not already done so
3. the attorney shall appear at the trial with you and review the complaint for sufficiency.
4. If the case is not dismissed due to an error in the complaint the attorney will approach you with the offer that has been recommended by the State. You must accept or reject the offer as written. If you reject the offer
5. the attorney shall appear with you at the trial setting if you have complied with section 5.01 of this Agreement; and
6. If you fail to appear, the attorney shall handle the ticket pursuant to this authorization contained in paragraph 10.01.
Trial Settings
5.01 On your trial date you must appear on time with your witnesses, if any. If the police officer fails to appear your case will either get dismissed or reset by the Judge. The Court will give the officer approximately one hour to appear in court. If your case does not go to trial, your case will take approximately one and one-half hours. If you try your case, it could possibly take all day. UFurther, if you choose to take your case to trial an additional fee of $250.00 will be charged to compensate the attorney for presenting your evidence to the court.
5.02 If the police officer appears in Court, you can choose:
1. Trial
2. Deferred adjudication probation, if you are eligible
3. Defensive driving school, if you are eligible
4. Plea of no contest for non-moving violations.
Deferred Adjudication Probation (Recommended by Attorney)
6.01 Deferred adjudication probation can be used to keep certain traffic tickets from going on your driving record and requires:
1. That you pay between $80.00 and $250.00 for most moving violations and between $175.00 and $350.00 for no insurance tickets within thirty (30) to sixty (60) days of your trial setting
2. That you must not receive and get convicted for a new moving traffic ticket during the six (6) month probationary period which begins on the date that you pay the fine
3. That you do not receive deferred adjudication probation for another ticket beginning six months prior to the probationary period and during the six months probationary period
4. That you possibly may have to take the defensive driving school as a condition if your violation was for an excessive speed or you are under the age of 25
5. That you return all necessary paperwork to the Court timely. If you fail to appear in court or pay the fee timely, you will have to appear in the Court on a designated day after the court date and at this time you will have to pay the fee. The attorney will not appear with you. If a statement of compliance is required, you will be provided with the appropriate form at the conclusion of the case. UIt is your responsibility to retain this form and return it on the date the court has requested for the citation to remain off your record.U If the statement of compliance requires a driving safety certificate, proof of insurance and/or proof of valid driver’s license to accompany it, this will be your responsibility to provide the court. If you fail to do this, the ticket will appear on your record, so it is imperative that you not forget this crucial step.
Defensive Driving and Deferred Adjudication Probation
7.01 Defensive driving can possibly be used every twelve (12) months in order to keep certain traffic tickets from going on your driving record.
7.02 The requirements include:
1. Valid Texas driver's license
2. Proof of insurance at the time you are granted defensive driving
3. Completion of the course within six (6) months
4. Payment within thirty days of the court date of an administrative fee
5. Probation for six (6) months
6. Return of all necessary paperwork to the City of Dallas Municipal Court within the time allotted by the court. You may have to obtain a copy of your driving record from the Department of Public Safety for a fee of $10.00. You cannot obtain defensive driving school for the following tickets: speeding 25 miles over the limit, non-moving violation and no-insurance violation. Again, it is your responsibility to turn in all the required proof of completion of the driver’s safety course to the Court. If you fail to do this, the ticket will appear on your record, so it is imperative that you not forget this crucial step.
Insurance and Driver’s License Offenses
8.01 If you had insurance on the date that you received the citation, you must supply our office with such proof within ten (10) days of hiring our firm. If you did not have insurance on the date of the offense, you must provide our office with proof of Ucurrent insuranceU within thirty (30) days hiring our firm. If you fail to supply our office with this proof, the attorney shall obtain deferred adjudication probation for you if possible. Further, it is not our responsibility to call your insurance company to procure a copy of your insurance establishing coverage on the date of the offense. YOU MUST PROVIDE OUR OFFICE WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION ESTABLISHING PROOF OF INSURANCE. IF YOU PROVIDE OUR OFFICE WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT ESTABLISH COVERAGE THE ATTORNEY WILL OBTAIN DEFERRED ADJUDICATION PROBATION FOR YOU IF POSSIBLE. MANY COURTS WILL NOT ALLOW DEFERRED ADJUDICATION WITHOUT THIS PROOF. IF DEFERRED IS NOT OFFERED WE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PLEA NOLO CONTENDRE TO THE OFFENSE AND NEGOTIATE A REDUCTION IN FINES.
8.02 If you had a Driver’s License on the date that you received the citation, you must supply our office with proof within ten (10) days of hiring our firm. If you did not have a driver’s license on the date of the offense, you must provide our office with proof of Ucurrent driver’s licenseU within thirty (30) days hiring our firm. If you fail to supply our office with this proof, the attorney shall obtain deferred adjudication probation for you if possible. Further, it is not our responsibility to call DPS or any other state agency to procure a copy of your driver’s license establishing proof on the date of the offense. YOU MUST PROVIDE OUR OFFICE WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION ESTABLISHING PROOF OF DRIVER’S LICENSE. IF YOU PROVIDE OUR OFFICE WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT ESTABLISH PROOF THE ATTORNEY WILL OBTAIN DEFERRED ADJUDICATION PROBATION FOR YOU IF POSSIBLE. IF DEFERRED IS NOT OFFERED WE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PLEA NOLO CONTENDRE TO THE OFFENSE AND NEGOTIATE A REDUCTION IN FINES.
Non-Moving Violations
9.01 Some violations are considered to be non-moving violations and will not appear on your driving record. These types of violations include inspection sticker, registration and seat belt violations. If your case is not dismissed, the attorney may obtain a fine for these violations.
Client's Failure To Appear In Court
10.01 If you cannot and/or fail to timely appear in Court on your court date, the attorney will represent you according to this Authorization. If you fail to return the Authorization or if you fail to make a choice on how you want the attorney to handle your case and/or you fail to appear for your trial or any other setting, the attorney shall request deferred adjudication probation as the first option if you are eligible or if you are ineligible for deferred adjudication probation the attorney shall request defensive driving school if you are eligible. In many instances you must have supplied the attorney with proof of insurance and a copy of your current driver’s license in order to receive either of these options. If you fail to supply our office with a copy of your insurance card and driver’s license, and we are unable to obtain deferred adjudication or defensive driving for you, we will plead NOLO CONTENDRE if we are on your bond AND/OR Allow the case to go into warrant if we are not on your bond. If you fail to appear in Court and your violation is a non-moving violation, which will not affect your driving record, the attorney will obtain a fine for you and will obtain time for you to pay the fine.
10.02 If you know in advance that you will be unable to appear in court on your scheduled court date, please read paragraph 15.01.
Authorization for Citations Outside of the City of Dallas
Due to the varying procedures and policies of each individual court, it would be too lengthy to describe our policies in detail in this contract for citations in cities and courts other than Dallas Municipal. However, here are our general policies with regard to tickets not in Dallas Municipal Court and in courts of non-record. If you have further questions about an individual ticket, we encourage you to ask before signing this Agreement so that you will be fully informed as to our policies with regard to that individual court.
11.01 The attorney shall handle your ticket in the following manner:
1. if your ticket is in warrant status the attorney shall post an attorney bond within the next 4 working days
2. the attorney shall request a pre-trial setting, if you have not already done so
3. the attorney shall appear at the pre-trial without you if that is the court’s policy and review the complaint, if it is available, and negotiate the best possible deal if the case is not dismissed due to an error/insufficiency in the complaint.
Trial Settings outside of the City of Dallas
11.02 The attorney shall handle your trial setting in the following manner:
1. UYou must inform our office no later than 15 days before the first pre-trial or setting on your case of your intent to go to trial. All fees must be paid before a trial setting will be approved by our office. U 2. If you choose to go to trial the attorney shall appear with you at the trial setting; and
3. If you fail to appear, the attorney shall handle the ticket pursuant to this authorization as stated in paragraph 12.01
4. The cost of trying a case outside of Dallas Municipal is $500.00 and must be paid 15 days before the first setting on your case.
Deferred Adjudication in courts other than Dallas Municipal
11.03 Many courts require that if the attorney is to receive deferred adjudication for you, you must pay any fine associated with the deferral of your citation the same day. If this is required, our office mandates that you provide our office with the deferral fee before your pre-trial setting in order to save you the time and expense of appearing in court with the attorney. Our office will provide you with a letter informing you of each individual court’s policies and requesting the deferral fee if necessary. If you do not provide our office with the required fee, you will be required to attend with attorney on your scheduled pre-trial date.
11.04 Further, many courts require that deferral be accompanied by a statement of compliance establishing that you have complied with the requirements of your probation. If this is required, you will be given a copy of the court’s requirements along with your closing letter. UMailing in the statement of compliance, driving record, driver’s license, insurance binder or any other documents needed by the court to establish compliance with your probation is your responsibility.U If you fail to do this, the ticket will appear on your record, so it is important that you do not forget this crucial step.
Client’s Failure to Appear in Court Outside of the City of Dallas
12.01 In many instances your failure to appear in court and/or your failure to communicate with our office as instructed will cause the issuance of a failure to appear citation if your ticket is not in warrant and/or a nisi judgment against the attorney if the attorney as posted a surety bond on your behalf. By signing this agreement you also have agreed to show up to any and all court appearances as directed by our office. You also agree to communicate with our office. If you cannot and/or fail to timely appear in Court on your court date and/or ignore our requests for information, fine amounts, etc., the attorney will represent you according to this Authorization. If you fail to return the Authorization or if you fail to make a choice on how you want the attorney to handle your case and/or you fail to appear for your trial or any other setting, the attorney shall request deferred adjudication probation as the first option if you are eligible or if you are ineligible for deferred adjudication probation the attorney shall request defensive driving school if you are eligible. In many instances you must have supplied our office with proof of insurance and a copy of your current driver’s license in order to receive either of these options. If you fail to supply our office with a copy of your insurance card and driver’s license, and we are unable to obtain deferred adjudication or defensive driving for you, we will plead NOLO CONTENDRE if we are on your bond, WITHDRAW FROM YOUR CASE TO AVOID A NISI JUDGMENT AND/OR Allow the case to go into warrant if we are not on your bond. If you fail to appear in Court and your violation is a non-moving violation, which will not affect your driving record, the attorney will obtain a fine for you and will obtain time for you to pay the fine.
12.02 If you know in advance that you will be unable to appear in court on your scheduled court date, please read paragraph 16.01.
Handling tickets in non-courts of record:
13.01 Many Courts in the metroplex and surrounding areas are not “Courts of Record.” This means that the court does not have the ability to record the testimony and evidence presented at trial for appeal. When our office receives citations from these courts we reserve the right to appeal your case to the County Court of Appeals where your citation was issued. If your citation is appealed we will perform the following actions on your behalf:
13.02 If your citation is within the 21 day initial appearance date:
1. File a 27.14 with the issuing court via certified mail
2. Upon acceptance of the plea and receipt of the fine amounts from the issuing court we will file an appeal bond within 10 business days on your behalf
3. Upon receipt by the County Court of Appeals of the appeal filed on your behalf, our office will receive a court date. You will be notified via first class mail of the court date and whether you will need to attend.
13.03 If your citation is after the 21 day initial appearance date:
In many courts we will have to personally appear before the Judge/Court to enter a plea of no contest and/or to lift warrants if your citation is older than 21 days and/or is in warrant. If this occurs an additional $30.00 fee will be assessed to your bill to cover the cost of the personal appearance. Once the personal appearance is made and the plea is accepted we will do the following:
1. Upon acceptance of the plea and receipt of the fine amounts from the issuing court we will file an appeal bond within 10 business days on your behalf
2. Upon receipt by the County Court of Appeals of the appeal filed on your behalf, our office will receive a court date. You will be notified via first class mail of the court date and whether you will need to attend.
13.04 Please know that the appeal process can take up to 1 year before a court setting is received, and up to 1 and ˝ years before the case is finally concluded.
14.01 Collection of Nisi fees:
If you fail to appear on your court date and the attorney posted a surety bond on your behalf guaranteeing your presence, courts have the authority to issue a Nisi Judgment against the attorney. In exchange for our firm giving its word that you will appear in court when directed, if you fail to do so you grant our office the authority to enter judgment against you for the total amount of the nisi judgment including but not limited to all court cost, attorneys fees and miscellaneous fees associated with collection efforts related to reimbursement of the Nisi Judgment entered.
15.01 DPS Surcharge Fees and FTA Fees
Many tickets that are in warrant will have DPS and/or FTA fees applied to the citation due to amount of time that has passed since the ticket was originally issued. These fees are civil in nature and are considered collection fees by the State of Texas. The surcharges are assessed to the outstanding citations that have gone into warrant or have been ignored for a significant period of time to justify issuing a separate failure to appear charge. Further, these fees can cause the suspension of a license if not paid.
15.02 Our office is being hired to handle the criminal charges against you only. We shall not call, negotiate, or pay any surcharges and/or civil FTA fees on your behalf. You as the client agree to research, negotiate and/or pay any DPS Surcharges and/or FTA fees associated with the underlying tickets our office has agreed handle. We have included some of the applicable numbers on the document entitled “Driver Responsibility Law” for your convenience.
15.03 It must be understood that If you fail to take care of your DPS surcharges before your pre-trial setting in the county court of appeals our office will have no choice but to either (1) reset your case or (2) plea no contest on the charges against you. You should have ample time to research and pay your DPS surcharge fees during the appeal process so that we may negotiate the best deal for you in the appeals court. However, if you need a re-set our office must be made aware of this at least 10 days prior to your pretrial date at the appeal level. Please see paragraph 17.01 for our fees associated with re-setting your case.
16.01 Resetting Your Case
Courts understand that there will be situations where a court date must be rescheduled due to prior obligations and/or unforeseen circumstances. However, in certain Courts, the attorney must file a written motion for continuance well in advance of the trial date and must give a good reason for the request. The reset is discretionary with the Judge. If your case is reset, the State will probably obtain a resetting on the next court date if the police officer fails to appear. Our office will be happy to assist you with a request for continuance if you are required to appear in court. The request and fees must be received at least 10 days prior to your hearing date. Please see the fees contained in paragraph 17.01 associated with requests for continuances. If such request is not made in accordance with this paragraph our office will proceed as authorized in paragraphs 10.01 and/or 12.01.
17.01 Fixed Fees
All fees paid to the attorney are fixed fees that are earned upon payment of the fee. All returned checks will be assessed a $25.00 fee. If such checks are not paid, we retain the right to turn the check over to the appropriate entity for criminal prosecution.

Further, Client authorizes Attorney to sign on behalf of Client any and all court documents to dispose of your citations including but not limited to Surety Bonds, Deferred Disposition Sheets, Straight Plea Agreements, Defensive Driving Agreements, etc. that the court requires. This Authorization of Attorney is limited to misdemeanor cases only and only applies to cases which the Attorney has been hired by Client.
Refund Policy
22.01 UAs stated in paragraph 3.01 all fees paid are earned immediately due to low amount of fees charged for class “C” misdemeanors and the willingness of our firm to forego other matters to take care of your case(s). However, in limited cases where the attorney and/or his or her staff has not performed the initial data entry and/or attempted to call the courts or other municipalities in relation to your case, there may be a percentage refund given based on the amount of work performed. These types of refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must be requested no later than the second day after procuring our services. If you wait past 2 days, then you can reasonably assume that our staff has performed substantial services that total the amount of the fee paid.
GUARANTEES
23.01 We cannot guarantee any expected outcome or conclusion of the legal matter due to numerous and complicated factors which are beyond our control. We make no express warranties concerning this transaction, and hereby expressly disclaim any implied warranties concerning it.

ASSOCIATION WITH OTHER ATTORNEYS
24.01 Our office may associate on this matter with other lawyers, or law firms for the sole purpose of covering conflicting court dates on our calendar. Client's execution of this Agreement represents Client's written consent to the following terms of the association arrangement: (a) Our office will only associate with other attorneys when it is necessary to cover conflicts in our schedule to insure that someone is there to cover your case as outlined in this Agreement (b) You will not be charged for any fees associated with procuring the services of an attorney for covering any hearing necessary to resolve the matter we have been hired to handle (c) If another lawyer or law firm is used to cover a proceeding other than our office, we will provide to you the name and contact information of that attorney when requested (d) Once the proceeding is handled, we will notify you of the outcome within a reasonable amount of time via the ways described below in paragraph 25.01.
COMMUNICATION
25.01 In an effort to control cost, and to continue to be proactive with most of our client’s preferred method of communication, if you have provided our office with a valid e-mail address, all of our correspondence will be sent to that address. If you do not have a valid e-mail address, we will send you any and all correspondence via first class mail. It is strictly understood that this is a cooperative effort that we are undertaking. If at any time, you feel that you have not received an e-mail or correspondence from our office it is imperative that you contact us immediately so that we may make attempts to remedy any communication deficiencies. We take steps to insure that all e-mail correspondence is received by setting read receipt controls to determine exactly when you have received a particular message from our office. However, this is not 100% error free. Further, if we send first class mail to the address you have on file with our office and it is not returned as “undeliverable” we will assume that you have received it and have no way of knowing otherwise. For this reason, if more than 30 days has passed since hearing from our office we request that you take the proactive step of calling us for an update to insure that you do not miss any important information from our office that may have been sent but not received.
COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTS
26.01 IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A CITATION FOR NO DRIVER’S LICENSE, NO INSURANCE, NO INSPECTION, NO REGISTRATION, OR ANY OTHER VIOLATION THAT REQUIRES PROOF OF COMPLIANCE IN THE FORM OF DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED BY YOU, THEN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE OUR OFFICE WITH PROOF OF THESE DOCUMENTS. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE OUR OFFICE WITH THESE DOCUMENTS AT LEAST 3 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST SETTING, THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED RECEIVED BY OUR OFFICE. THIS POLICY IS IN PLACE TO AVOID RECEIVING DOCUMENTS THE DAY BEFORE YOUR SETTING THEREFORE NOT GIVING OUR OFFICE ENOUGH TIME TO EVALUATE THE DOCUMENT RECEIVED AND ALLOWING US TO GET IT INTO YOUR FILE BEFORE THE HEARING. YOU UNDERSTAND BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT THAT WE ARE A HIGH VOLUME OFFICE. WE NEED AMPLE TIME TO PROCESS ANY DOCUMENT YOU INTEND TO FOR US TO USE ON YOUR BEHALF AT YOUR SETTING. WE STRIVE TO INFORM YOU OF EACH SETTING IN YOUR CASE AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE. WE ALSO STRIVE TO INFORM YOU OF ANY DOCUMENTS WE MAY NEED TO OBTAIN THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME IN YOUR CASE. IF YOU FAIL TO COOPERATE WITH OUR OFFICE AND/OR FAIL TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY DOCUMENT REQUESTED AT LEAST 3 DAYS PRIOR TO ANY SETTING, THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DOCUMENT NOT BEING IN YOUR FILE AT THE SETTING. IF THE DOCUMENT IS NOT RECIEVED BEFORE THIS 3 DAY PERIOD, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE YOU A RE-HANDLING FEE IF WE HAVE FILE A MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT TO HAVE YOUR CASE RECONSIDERED BY THE COURT.
TP[1]PT The fees stated above apply to Class “C” Misdemeanors only. Prices may vary depending on where the citation was issued. Specifically, Richardson, JP 2-2, Coppell, JP 3-1 and Addison are charged full price for each offense due to the complexity of the court’s local rules in dealing with citations.
