No. Minor clerical errors will, not get you out of a ticket.

In Texas....DEFINITELY. Period.
I have received my 6th speeding ticket in less than 5 months, and when I always sit down with the prosecution, the first thing we go over is the name and address, to make sure there are noe errors. If there are errors, it is dismissed. Period.
Speed Bunny: YES. REALLY.
First off, ask how many of these that responded, are from Texas??? Second, of those, ask how many have taken the citation to court???
I just got out of ANOTHER speeding Ticket this past Wednesday, in Bandera (Northwest of San Antonio).
If you NEED assistance, or want advice, e-mail me...also, if you're in Dallas...I have a great attorney who handles mine for $50 @, but I get a "Volume discount"...really. My driving is horrific, if you look at the amount of tickets I receive, however if you look at my driving record, only one from the past seven years show up.
Regards.

Not likely. There are other points to consider when identifying a person accused of committing a traffic offense. Your drivers license number is unique, which can verify your identity. The vehicle used to commit the alleged infraction or offense can be tied back to the operator of it (in most cases). The officer witnessing the alleged act, can confirm the identity of the actor (in most cases). The court takes all into consideration to insure the state is receiving justice, when leveling a sentence on a defendant. Good luck.

Your name may be spelled wrong, but they still have the license plate number and that's all they need. You can always try to get out of a ticket, if you dont mind taking off a day to go sit in a courthouse and talk to the judge.

Not sure about Texas but in Florida state law doesn't allow a citation to be dismissed solely based upon a "clerical error."

Nope. Especially NOT if you live in Texas. I'm sure the officer got your d/l number right and you probably signed the ticket, too, right?

I had a cop throw out a traffic ticket last week because they wrote down the wrong court date. I'm pretty sure if they wrote down your name wrong, it would be the same situation.

Be sure to spell your name correctly on your check. Next time, obey the rules.

No you can't get out of it, but the upside is you will have to change your name t the new spelling everywhere else now.
