Unless they can provide me a picture of whom the driver is then I am not paying either if I ever get one.

It sounds like it depends on the county you live in. Dallas and Denton counties enforce the scofflaw law versus other counties dont enforce it. I worked with a guy that received one in Dallas and he could not renew his registration until he paid the fine. Tarrant County Tax Accessor Ron Wright stated he is not enforcing it.

Real good stuff already said. I used to work at a dfw court.

The following is how this goes: it doesnt matter who drove the vehicle, they only go by the LP registration name. It is a cash cow for sure. Garland started the whole thing in the early days, and after that, every city council got moist. The city where I worked ( in a 12 month period) brought in 500,000.00.

These are civil citations not criminal tickets. The video is initially reviewed by a police officer, then the information is forwarded to a civilian hearing officer. If you receive one, you may go to a scheduled informal hearing where he will review the video with you and make a determination of either liable or not liable. Notice, I didnt say guilty or not guilty. If you choose to go further, you can go to a pre-trial with the prosecutor. If you still want to challenge it you can go to trial at a future date.

At the trial, the judge will rule either liable or not liable. If you do not pay, guess what happens next - NOTHING.
Reported to PD or DPS - no. Reported to your insurance - no. Reported to credit bureau- no.
Scofflaw - mostly no, because the county clerks are elected officials ( catch my drift) but you might check in your particular county.

So you see, they come at you saying traffic safety and we all get that, right? But they also enjoy counting all that cool cash. Its simply a way to gently lean on the citizenry and rake in the bucks. At least in my city, the hearing officer would almost always educate the senior citizens who were on a fixed income, and then find them not liable .
