Texas Attorney Dan Krieger understands your driving record is important. Convictions for moving violations, fail to maintain financial responsibility, and numerous other alleged violations of the Texas Transportation Code affect your automobile insurance rates, your ability to work, and can result in the suspension of your driving license.
Dan represents people accused of violations of the Texas Transportation Code. His goal is to either have the case dismissed or to obtain a deferred disposition. Successful completion of the deferred disposition results in no reporting of the violation to the Texas Department of Public Safety and no points on your driver’s license. Persons having commercial driver’s licenses are not eligible for a deferred disposition. Persons under the age of 25 must attend a driver’s safety course in conjunction with a deferred disposition.
Mr. Krieger has attended numerous training schools related to traffic enforcement and was a motorcycle traffic enforcment officer early in his police career. He has attended and was certified in the use of doppler radar and has prosecuted several cases involving LIDAR – an emerging and now frequently-used technology in law enforcement. In cases where speeding is alleged, Mr. Krieger can effectively cross examine the government’s witnesses about radar’s interaction with the environment, external mechanical interference, radio frequency interference, harmonics, and the officer’s failure to properly use the radar. Frequently testimony will show the government’s failure to protect motorists from these known factors that legitimately result in incorrect speed readings.
Texas drivers with Commercial Driver’s Licenses are faced with additional considerations when it comes to traffic tickets. If you have a Texas Class A or Class B driver’s license and are charged with a “moving violation”, the Texas Legislature has decided that you cannot take a driver’s safety course or obtain a deferred disposition. What this means is that an off-duty school bus driver who is driving to the grocery store in her personal car has far less options to dispose of the ticket than every other licensed (or even unlicensed) driver on the road – despite not operating a commercial motor vehicle at the time of the stop. There are vast differences in how these cases are handled in the various municipal courts and justice courts in the Houston-Metro area. The bottom line is that commercial driver’s license holders facing moving violations need to be fully prepared to take their case to a jury. Let Attorney Dan Krieger’s experience work for you in your traffic ticket case.
