thanks for the replies.

Admit guilt and pay ticket! If you are guilty just do it. Next time don't speed. Seems simple to me.

JDTH ~ relax dude! The policeman is the one who suggested I go to court. I have never been pulled over in my life, much less a speeding ticket. I was speeding, I am not trying to "get out" of anything~ but I would be stupid to not want to get my "charges" lessened, and if I have a chance to, yea Im going to. Regarless, I still have no idea what exactly im supposed to go at court, but im supposing once im there, they can direct me. If they offered me traffic school, i would take it ~

Sorry to hear about your ticket. We had a problem with a neighbor and her damn pit bulls running loose attacking people and other dogs, and when we and other neighbors filed a police report, we received a subpoena for municipal court as witnesses. The whole exercise was pretty low key, no big deal. The position is an elected one, so the judge (who doesn't even have a law degree!!) doesn't want to upset anyone so no "fire and brimstone", especially if you're a tourist. You will probably have to pay court costs ($29 in Lincoln, not sure Alamo) and maybe a small additional fine, but should be able to keep off your insurance. Good luck-and did you get picked up in the construction zone? That is a real PITA, but I guess we need the revenue enhancement in the state right now.

thanks hogfarmer ~ no it wasn't in the construction zone thank goodness. I am more than happy to pay the fine(s) just would like to keep it off my insurance if at all possible. Thanks for posting!!!!! Im hoping the court thing here is low key as well............thanks again!
