Fighting Your Solano Traffic Ticket

Trial by Written Declaration

The most effective way to fight your Solano traffic ticket without taking time off work is through a Trial by Written Declaration. Request form TR-205 from the court or download it online. Submit your written defense along with the bail amount (which gets refunded if you win) before your due date.

Even if you lose, you have a safety net: within 20 days of the verdict, you can request a trial de novo for an in-person hearing—a second chance to present your case.

In-Person Court Appearance

You can appear in person at your scheduled court date at the Hall of Justice, but consider what that requires: taking time off work during business hours, traveling to the courthouse, and potentially waiting hours for your case to be called. For most people, the written declaration approach is far more practical.

Why Fight Your Solano Ticket?

Fighting your ticket makes sense for several reasons:

  • Officer no-shows: Many officers don't respond to written declarations, resulting in automatic dismissal
  • Insurance savings: A conviction can increase your rates 20-30% for years—far more than the cost of fighting
  • Protect your record: Points accumulate toward license suspension; keeping your record clean matters
  • No court appearance: With Trial by Written Declaration, the entire process happens by mail
