Old Ticket From Different State, Outsourced to Law Firm
As an 18 year old, I was cited in Cameron County, TX. over spring break for minor in possession of alcohol. This was over three years ago, and when recently visiting a house I lived in some years ago, the current tenant gave me a piece of mail from a law firm based in San Antonio, claiming to have been ''hired to represent Cameron County in the collection and disposition of the above listed matter.''
The letter goes on to give the typical ''can be arrested'' etc..
My question is, what is the best route to take with this? The letter mentions that if I do not respond within 10 days (well passed that date when I received the letter) that they will recommend that their ''client enforce the collection of this obligation.''
I currently reside in another state, 750 miles away. But by no means can have any tarnishing nonsense on my record. What are my consequences either way?

Re: Old Ticket From Different State, Outsourced to Law Firm
Hello there,
This is a common collection notice sent by law firms that try to collect money for unpaid citations.
This should be taken care of with the court rather that the law office.
My office has a traffic ticket division and we deal with problems like this all the time.
If my office can be of any assistance fee free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Erick Platten
