You live in Texas so what is the problem..........we have deferred adjudication. How this works...........you arrive on your specified court date, judge explains all the rules, you plead no contest request deferred adjudication. You will pay court costs and sign papers stating that you understand you are not to get another moving violation in any state for 90 days. They will give you another court date (90 days later). At the second court date, you will sign an afadavit that you have not received any moving violations in any state during your previous 90 days and again pay a fine and court costs. There will be no record as long as you did not receive a ticket during your 90 days. The beauty of living of Texas is that you can get a ticket every 90 days......................
Forget all these worries and know your state laws regarding tickets........in Houston the judge will tell you if you're planning on getting out of the ticket if your police officer does not show up, she/he will tell you we'll schedule a date when your policeman will show up and then you can show up again..........
Hope this helps.

If you have a trial date and the officer doesn't show up, the ticket should be dismissed, especially if the troopers prosecute in the town in which you were speeding. If there is a prosecutor, the judge may, but not always, adjourn the case; but usually the ticket is dismissed.
What town was the ticket issued in? 31 mph over is a big ticket in NY. Do you have any points now or existing moving violations on your record (w/in the last 3 years). I am an attorney in upstate NY.
In the past I have successfully used the delay tactic many times. I usually ask for 2 adjournments and by that time the officer's schedule usually doesn't coincide with the courts, but not always.

Hi I am a criminal attorney in California. Both officers need to show up. What you should do is contact the supoena division of the police agency and see when they have scheduled vacation or mandatory training-just tell the person you want to supoena the officers and want to know their schedule. If they have any vacation/training posted then set your trial then for then. I do not know about your state however here they do not need to show you the radar. Good Luck.
