Asked 7/28/2016 – Edinburg, TX

I owe money on court fees, traffic tickets and 1 assault charge.

Answer

Each jurisdiction gives different credit for time served towards fines and costs, so the dollar credit you get per day on the traffic ticket may be different that the credit on the assault charge. Call the sheriff’s office and the municipal court where your ticket is pending. They can tell you the rate at which credit is given.
