Thats not always the case. I have a customer who operates a dump truck. He is constantly getting tickets by DPS for something or another. If its here in Helotes, a small city, he elects trial by jury. They always drop the case because they have to pay an attorney. If its in San Antonio, he pays it. They have a staff of attorneys and he wont win.
