Here in Houston, there was an attorney that would handle tickets. I think it was $60. I used them once. I went in and this guy showed up in the courtroom before the judge showed up and said "who here is using Kubosh?" About 15-20 folks raised their hands. He spoke to all of us and then left the room. He came back a bit later and came and went a few times. It turned out that he was also working one of the other court rooms at the same time. In the court room that I was in, all but one of the tickets was dismissed (no cost at all, just gone). In that one case, the guy had been a dick to the cop, and the cop made a note of it. Since he'd been a dick, the cop wouldn't play ball.
