DEFERRED DISPOSITION

REQUIREMENTS:

The court offers the option to “defer” your case and place you on probation for a specified period of time. During the deferral period, you must comply with the terms and conditions of your deferral. Terms vary. Please be aware the type of offense you have been charged with, the facts of your particular case and/or your criminal history may be considered to determine if you are eligible for a deferral If you successfully comply with the terms of your deferral in the timeframe ordered by the Court, your case will be dismissed.

Deferred Disposition is normally a 90 day probationary period. During that time you can not receive any other violation (moving or non-moving violations) nor have any charges filed against you by the State of Texas.

Failure to pay your Deferred fine by the appearance date, deferral due date, or receiving a violation during your deferral period will violate your Deferred Disposition Order. Failure to comply with any part of the Deferral Order may result in a fine and a conviction reported on your driving record.

Note: If you have a commercial driver's license you are NOT eligible for Deferred Disposition.

To find out if you’re eligible for this option contact the court during business hours or for more information. You will need to sign paperwork with the court in order to be set up for this option through the court.
