Ticketed in Edinburg? Find out which court has your ticket and why you shouldn’t pay it yet, then talk to Phillip.
Phillip Goff defends traffic tickets and commercial driver cases in Edinburg Municipal Court and the Hidalgo County justice courts, from his nearby Mission office. Start with who stopped you.
Pick who stopped you and what you were charged with.
Tickets written by Edinburg Police inside the city go to Edinburg Municipal Court.
Paying a ticket is a guilty plea, and the conviction goes on your driving record. We can enter a not-guilty plea for you and handle the case. Lost your ticket? Here’s how to find it. Every Hidalgo County court is listed on our Hidalgo County traffic ticket page.
Commercial drivers ticketed in Edinburg face the same rule as anywhere in Texas: courts can’t use deferred adjudication to keep a CDL holder’s ticket off the record, and two serious violations in three years can take your commercial license for 60 days.
“I have a CDL A and I got a slow poke ticket in Edinburg. I went into Mr. Goff’s office depressed because I lost my job with that ticket. He and his assistant were compassionate and listened to me… he got that ticket dismissed.”Gracie Aguilar, client review
Edinburg is the county seat, so every Hidalgo County DWI is heard at the courthouse here, whether Edinburg Police, UTRGV Police or a state trooper made the arrest. Our Hidalgo County DWI page covers the courthouse, your first court date and how Phillip defends the case. Students under 21 are charged differently; see underage DWI.
After a DWI arrest you have 15 days to request the hearing that can keep your license from being suspended. Enter your arrest date.

An arrest by UTRGV Police is a criminal case like any other, and the university can have its own conduct process. Call us before you talk to anyone about it.
