I've never charged more than $1000. There's no justification for such an expense, even assuming you need a hearing, which in 90% of the cases, is unnecessary.

If they are recognized as criminal penalties then a defendant might have a claim on double jeopardy. The traffic court set a punishment and case should be closed. Instead the TXDPS goes and levels another separate punishment against the defendant. Thoughts......?<br /><br /><br />Owing the state money is a crime. We should level surcharges and handcuff on the state the next time they are delinquent in paying.Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-11309097587362732782013-08-28T20:04:00.263-05:002013-08-28T20:04:00.263-05:00Has anyone challenged this in court on double jeop...Has anyone challenged this in court on double jeopardy grounds?
