This is an e-mail I sent to Brazos County Justice of the Peace after a "mix up" with my request to take Defensive Driving for a 69mph in a 60mph zone on Harvey Mitchell.
You can see my plead for mercy after my wrong doing and after their error also.
They replied with a phone call/ voice mail message apologizing and telling me YES, in fact, I can take Defensive Driving for the speeding ticket. NO MERCY!
Thanks a lot for NOTHING Judge Munoz!
Justice Munoz
First, let me apologize for speeding in Brazos County or in Texas for that matter. I was wrong. 69 in a 60 is just as bad as 61 or 101.
I did not appreciate the time I had to take responding to an error from your office today. Let me explain.
I sent in all the appropriate paper work for my ticket and a request to take defensinve driving. Ticket (Copy), Application Form (Copy), DL (Copy), Insurance (Copies of both cards-one through May 19 and one after May 19-as I was not sure which one you needed), & Money Order $110 Court Cost all in the mail.
Today, I get a call saying I did not include the insurance necessary to complete the request for Defensive Driving. Diana left me a message saying that the insurance card with May19-Nov 2012 was not the right one and I needed to get the insurance card with dates that included my ticket date of May 9th. Man was I confused and a little upset.
I checked my paperwork here and saw all the requested items. I felt a little like I was being pulled over once again and again not knowing why.
Diana said that I could fax the correct insurance to the office today before 4:30pm. I was prepared to do that, but decided to call first. I was also a little perplexed as I had already provided my valid insurance card to your county on May 9th and it checked up then.
I am glad I called, because the error was not mine but your office.
I would like to, once again, ask for your mercy in the matter of my ticket. The time spent by your fine Constable with me on the side of FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) as I was on my way home from my good Aggie daughter's graduation and the time I had to spend "defending" my 100% paperwork today could all be forgotten. I did ask Constable for some mercy and received none. Now I am asking you...please.
I know you did not mean to make this error. Fact is, you did.
I did not mean to make my error. Fact is, I did.
I love Texas,
Curt Metzger
