One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

I believe the seat belt citation has no points so I can just pay that
But you are correct @Southern by choice if you pay the lawyer he can usually get it reduced to "improper equipment " and no points

There is a small town halfway between us and our DD. We have met there to pick up and return our grand daughter so neither party had to drive the whole way, it's 3 hours one way. This town sports a 4 way stop sign and far reaching city limits that drastically drop the speed limits when you still think you are waaaaay out from town. Is it a bad thing when the city secretary knows my husband's voice and can call him by name on the first word out of his mouth? One by one, we all have received deferred adjudication, some of us more than once.......(DH)........

So
Got to pick a lawyer from all of the solicitations
Update on sale of old house buyer had her inspections squeezed a few more dollars out of me for some minor issues but looks like it's a go
Closing is Dec 2nd

So I ended up hiring a lawyer who didn't send me a solicitation. Lady who works with me husband is a local attorney. He called me a little while ago and told me that he had my stop sign ticket reduced to a back seat, seat belt violation. $10 fine and no court costs an no points. Of course, he got his fee.
Southern is right, it is kind of a racket.

As for the sale of my old house, the buyer's due diligence period has passed. We came to terms on repairs found on her home inspection and we are all set for a Dec 2nd close.

yea!!! on the closing for the old house. that has got to be a relief. and oh yes, so many of the small towns around here have ticket scams. everyone around knows when and where to slow down, etc. it's just a revenue making scheme.

@goatgurl

You don't even know the relief. It's almost like I have found some money because I had no real expectation that we would sell the house before next spring, since we were not getting it listed until October. I basically figured making at least 4 more house payments.

 

[goatgurl]

i can't imagine having to make two mortgage payments. tickled for you.

 

[babsbag]

Congrats on selling the house; that must be a huge relief.

As far as the tickets...yuck. CA has traffic school. We can do it online, and the school itself is cheap. We still pay the ticket but nothing else, no points, no court. Just have to stay ticket free for 18 months (I think...or maybe you are allowed 2 in 18 months) No lawyers which is nice.

 

[Baymule]

Happy for you about the house! What a relief that will be for you!
