What happens when you go to court and plea guilty to a DUI without a lawyer?

Question by PeachTree: What happens when you go to court and plea guilty to a DUI without a lawyer?

Some people say not to plea guilty the first time in court but I don’t see a point in going back to court again when your really proven guilty with failing the breath test.

Actually, it’s about the same difference with a lawyer as without should you be talking first offense. If, on the other hand, you are looking to plea on a repeat offense, my advice would be to definitely seek a lawyer. The judges throw the book at you on repeat DUI — he/she wants to look tough to re-elected. The jails are overcrowded and process time 3-for-1 day and sometimes 10-for-1 when the sentence is over 13 years. That is, on the 3-strikes rule and that includes DUI, you can get 15 years to life, but the jails don’t have room.

David:

This is called “actions have consequences.” Sorry, I can’t help you. You have to live with the consequences of your bad choices. This is only fair.

Yours very Truly,

The President

PS–you might want to look into a vasectomy. Having children in your circumstance is just another poor decision. Federal funds are available for this.

Question by breadbox: Houston Texas free legal advice for small claims court, where to get?
Houston Texas free legal advice for small claims court, where to get? Cannot afford to pay a lawyer. Is there a legal aid office or some kind attorneys that give guidance for free?
I know the maximum limit is $ 10,000 already.

Answer by justwondering
Small claims court has a $ limit for filing. You can find the information from their web site. Here is another site that lists attorneys – which you will not need as small claims court is made for the private citizen – but also has a Q/A section that you may find helpful.

speeding ticket: deferred adjudication?

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 11:07 AM PDT


Question by aldakemina: speeding ticket: deferred adjudication?
If I ask for deferred adjudication, then the ticket does not go on my record? Do I need to pay fines?

What about if I plead no contest and do defensive driving, then does it still go on my record?

In Texas. Please help!

Best answer:

Answer by KC V ™
Deferred Adjudication is a plea bargain agreement between a defendant, and a Texas Criminal Court in which formal judgment is withheld or “deferred” pending the outcome of the probation period. If an individual is given deferred adjudication and he or she successfully completes the probation and conditions assigned by the court, the charges are dismissed.

In order to obtain DA from the court, the defendant MUST either enter a plea of “guilty” or a plea of “no contest.”

Essentially, both pleas mean the same thing; with the exception being that a plea of “no contest” has certain advantages as far as protecting the defendant against any subsequent civil litigation proceedings related to the original crime he/she was originally charged with.

Even though a successfully completed deferred adjudica-tion will ultimately result in charges being dismissed by the criminal court, it is extremely important to take note of the fact that two very important records will remain in existence… and will be viewable by the general public… for the rest of that person’s life.

These two records are:

(1) The original arrest record which contains the arresting officers notes, reports, etc. This arrest record will also usually contain police investigator’s notes, photographs, confessions, or any other evidence seized or testimony taken during an arrest.

(2) The record of the action of the court. This document is usually the order of probation that you, the defendant signed in order to qualify for deferred adjudication. This paper, with your signature on it, also contains your plea of guilty or “nolo contendere” (no contest).
