Bedford DWI Defense Attorney
In 2003, Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed a unique Texas law giving the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) the right to charge repeat traffic offenders an additional driver's license surcharge. If you have received as few as two speeding or reckless driving violations in a year, you may face a surcharge of several hundred dollars, depending upon the severity of the offense. A DWI offense can result in thousands of dollars in additional fees. The surcharge is one more important reason why it is worth fighting your traffic ticket.
The law office of David E. Cook is ready to help you stand up and fight a traffic ticket that can result in a heavy fine, suspended driver's license and higher auto insurance rates. For more than 15 years, criminal defense attorney David Cook has been helping drivers in the Fort Worth area and across Tarrant County. He can help you avoid a surcharge resulting from:
- DWI, driving while impaired
- Excessive speeding, reckless driving
- Driving on a suspended license, driving without a license
- Driving with no insurance
How Long Is the Surcharge in Effect?
If you are tagged with a driver's license surcharge, you will be required to pay the set amount for three years. If you are currently paying a surcharge, we may be able to work with the Texas Department of Public Safety to clear your driving record and reduce or dismiss the amount remaining for future years.
