This is a little story about my adventure with the court
system in the city of Tyler. It’s magical, really. And it all started with a warning for speeding.
Have you ever been told to do something and for some reason
you just didn’t get around to it? Maybe your mom told you to clean you room
three years ago, but you found yourself too enthralled with being a slob to do
what she asked. Or maybe you told your boss that OF COURSE you would get that
filing done this Friday, but then someone brought cake to work and everyone got
chatty (including you) and oh look, it isn’t finished and it’s time to leave.
You walk sneakily off and vow to get it done first thing on Monday.
Yea. Don’t do that with the court system. Especially in Smith County.

As a couple of you may know, I just recently got owned by
the Tyler Municipal Court. It began innocently enough, when I received a
warning for speeding and was told by the officer to get my license changed to
reflect my new address. I did not do that last bit. Four months later I received snail mail telling me that
I had missed my own court date and owed the city of Tyler $690.00. I thought I
would be able to get out of the fines, and now I have my very first payment
plan. I feel like a real life adult now. No really.
