I must have done this 20 times.

I received a ticket from a State trooper on the PGBT in Dallas county. I was elated to learn that Dallas county offers "1 day adjudication".
You go to the court (which is a clerk in a window in a hallway)
Present your violation, request deferred adjudication
Provide proof of insurance and photo ID
Pay the fine for the violation
If you do not get another violation in 1 day, it disappears.
The length of the deferment depends on the locale. This is why you have to call the court to find out your specific options. I was utterly shocked their deferment was 1 day.
