Deferred Disposition

Requesting Deferred Disposition
Upon request, the Court may consider granting Deferred Disposition, an option that would keep a violation from going on your driving record. The Court will not grant Deferred Disposition if you:

• Have had Deferred Disposition in the Highland Village Municipal Court in the past 12 months.
• Have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
• Have committed one of the following offenses:
  • Failure to Give Information at an Accident Scene
  • Leaving the Scene of an Accident
  • Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer
  • Reckless Driving
  • Passing a School Bus
  • A serious traffic violation, which applies to commercial motor vehicle operators.
  • An offense in a construction zone when workers are present.
  • Speeding in excess of 25 mph over the posted limit.

Requirements for Deferred Disposition include:

• The defendant will be placed on probation for a set period of time (to be determined by the Judge).
• Payment of the fee in full (amount to be set by the Judge).
• Other requirements as set out by the state or Judge depending on the defendant’s age and offense.
• Complete and return of the required paperwork by the due date. 

The case will be dismissed as long as all requirements are met within the time frame set forth by the Judge. Deferred Disposition requirements are set by the Judge based on the defendant's age and offense.
