Yes
Sometimes a traffic ticket will be mailed to a person instead of written by an officer. Depending on the county it can take a week or two for a person to get a traffic ticket in the mail.
Based on the question, I assume the officer in question is employed by the police department; however, has not completed training through the state. Yes, the police officer can issue a ticket. Although not certified, the officer has been granted authority through the police department, and holds the authority to do anything that a certified officer may do (within reason).
It is very unlikely that a traffic ticket will be dismissed if the Officer does not record the birth date correctly.
In most jurisdictions, the officer turns over the ticket information to the traffic court. The traffic court will send out a notice, sometimes including a duplicate ticket.
Of course you do
The officer can ticket you for the traffic violation, he or she can arrest you if there are mitigating circumstances.
A DOT officer is still a law enforcement officer, and has the jurisdiction to give traffic citations.
There is no statute of limitations on traffic tickets in Texas. If the officer did not give you a ticket, you were not issued one. Look up the ticket online, if possible.
Yes, it can!
There can be a few times when it is better to contest a traffic ticket instead of paying it. One of these instances could be when a person feels like an officer issued the ticket when they weren't supposed to. A person could feel this way if the ticket was issued because of being caught in a speed trap or when the officer was deliberately hidden.
no. The police officer is allowed to ammend any incorrect information in traffic court.
