Speeding tickets?? Forum

[Aawaldrop]

For reference the tickets occurred in Texas.

First ticket 51 in a 35 did the deferred adjudication with defensive driving and it was dismissed over 4 years ago.

Second ticket 80 in a 60 but the officer was "pacing" me so after a year of changing counties or whatever reason it was dismissed without any plea.

My question is whether any addendum would be needed (especially for the first one) to explain these to law schools?

Okay thanks.

Be very careful about not disclosing. In Texas and several other states, minor moving violations are Class C misdemeanors. Schools won't care at all about your speeding tickets, and you don't even need to specify your speeds, but the bar will absolutely care if the application asked for your entire criminal history and you failed to include this information.

Just disclose.

I disclosed like 16 tickets, and that wasn't even all of them. No one cares except the bar C&F, and they only care to the extent they want to see if you try and hide anything.
