At the age of 17, way back in 1999 I received a speeding ticket in a city 200 miles away from my hometown. I ignored the ticket and when I got out of the Navy in 2001 I successfully renewed my license. Fast forward to 2005, I successfully changed my DL address online. Fast forward again, this time to February 2006, I attempted to renew my license and was told that I was unable to, and given a number to contact. After contacting that number I was told that I had an outstanding ticket from, you guessed it, 1999. I contacted the city and was told that the total fine was about 500$. I am a student and that was and still is a lot of money. I chose to ignore paying the fine figuring, ignorantly in hindsight, that all I would receive was a citation for driving with an expired license.
About 9 months later, I was pulled over, and upon a check of my license, was arrested for driving with a suspended license. At no time was i given any notice that my license was suspended. PS I live in TX
