Arrested or ticketed in McAllen? Find out where your case is and what deadline you’re facing, then talk to Phillip.
Phillip Goff defends DWI, traffic and commercial driver cases from his Mission office, a short drive from McAllen. Start here: the answer to “where is my case?” depends on who stopped you.
Pick who stopped you and what you were charged with.
Most DWI arrests in the city are made by McAllen Police. State troopers also work I-2 (Expressway 83) and I-69C. Either way, the case goes to Hidalgo County court in Edinburg.
McAllen Police run “no-refusal” enforcement on some holidays and busy weekends, with a judge on call to sign blood-test warrants. A blood test is not the end of your case. Blood evidence has weak points of its own, and we know how to test them.
After a DWI arrest you have 15 days to request the hearing that can keep your license from being suspended. Enter your arrest date.
Choose your arrest dateTickets written by McAllen Police go to McAllen Municipal Court.
The city lets you pay online, but paying is a guilty plea and the conviction goes on your driving record. A not-guilty plea has to be made in person. We can handle that for you. Lost your ticket? Here’s how to find it. Every Hidalgo County court is listed on our Hidalgo County traffic ticket page.
McAllen sits on the freight route between the international bridges and I-69C, so commercial drivers get a lot of tickets here. 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’m a Class A CDL driver. I had 2 tickets that they took care of for me. They were able to keep me out of the courtroom and on the road, which was exactly what I asked them to do.”Keith Thomas Jackson, client review
