Texas Law states that Officers can't write tickets unless a City Population is ABOVE 50,000 or a County is ABOVE 200,000.
Do you know where that stop was? Do you know where the Cop is from? Of course you don't, but I do. Keene, Texas.
Keene Texas. Population 6,167.
They have no authority to write tickets under Texas State Law.
PLUS, under Texas State Law in order for a person to be arrested for "failure to show License" they must have been previously Lawfully Arrested.
What was she previously Arrested for? Nothing! The Cop is in violation of the Law. She has a good case against the officer and the city of Keene.
CONservative. Dumbest Poster EVAH!

Gee... look at that. A Texas law firms website, talking about all the many ways you can be arrested in Texas in regards to traffic tickets.When you receive a traffic ticket, the police officer requests that you sign it. Your signature is not a plea of "guilty" to the charge. It is simply your promise to appear in court, on or before the appearance date. If you fail to take any action on your traffic ticket, a warrant can be issued for your arrest. You are subject to arrest anywhere in the State of Texas, at any time. The police may come, unannounced, to your home, or even your place of business, and take you into custody in front of your friends, family, or co-workers. In addition, by not taking action on your ticket in a timely fashion, the State of Texas may file an additional criminal charge of failure to appear. You may not even aware that this charge has been filed against you, because the State of Texas has the ability to file this case "at large." In other words, since you are not available for an officer to issue you a citation, the "failure to appear" charge can be file against you with the court, in your absence. To make matters worse, an additional warrant can be issued pursuant to this new charge.
For traffic tickets, there are two types of warrants: alias warrants and capias warrants. If you receive a traffic ticket and take no action, at some point, the court will issue an alias warrant for your arrest. Also, if you set your case for court and fail to appear, an alias warrant will be issued. On the other hand, if you take action on your case (i.e., if you have previously entered a "guilty" or "no contest" plea, requested defensive driving, or asked for a payment plan) and have not follow through on the agreement that you made with the court (e.g., you didn't take defensive driving, or pay the fine you agreed to pay), the court will issue a capias warrant. A capias warrant cannot be removed by the posting of an attorney bond. However, if you have spent time in jail since the capias warrant issued for your arrest, we may be able to have the court give you back time credit (i.e., allow you to credit the time you spent in jail to satisfy the fine). If so, we may be able to assist you so that you don't have to pay the fine that you owe.
If you have been issued a traffic citation, and taken no action on or before the appearance date, a warrant has probably been issued for your arrest!
I guess Mad was... lying.
