Speeding ticket in Texas - out of country

[alext00]

I got a speeding ticket today - for allegedly going 86 in a 45 - in Uvalde, Texas. I'm from Canada so I have an out-of-country license (no points on it, and I don't have insurance at home because I don't have a car). The violation listed is speeding; I didn't get an exact fine, the ticket just says to appear in front of a judge. I honestly thought I was going 86 in a *70*, because I was about to enter the 45 zone and slow down when the officer clocked me. What might the consequences be, and what's the best course of action here? Should I get a traffic attorney? Thanks in advance!

Probably one stiff fine at that speed. You do know Texas leads in executions? LOL

Pay it or fight it.

Unless you never plan on coming back to the States, hire an attorney.
