Texas:
I got a speeding ticket at 1 mph above what Texas consider no Driver Safety Course dismissal option. However, my car speedometer and GPS speedometer both showed me speeding 3 mph below what the cop claims. I submitted a written discovery for documents on the proper maintainence and calibration of the radar gun as directed by the court clerk over 3 weeks ago with no response letter from the DA office; I was told I will either get a written response or a phone call response from the DA office:
1) Will no response from DA office on my motion for discovery help dismiss my case during Pre-Trial coming up or should I inquire about the status of my discovery request one week before my pre-trial date by going to the DA office?
2) What if the DA response gets lost in the mail or my phone voicemail did not record properly, then do I forfeit my right to finish the discovery just because the DA office was unable to successfully get in touch with me?
Thanks for your advice!
