Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

Last Sept. I recieved a ticket for running a red light. It was on a busy intersection with regular traffic lights.It is on my school bus route.That particular morning Sept 27,2013. I had a bus full of chilren grades Pk -12 . I assign sit my little ones up front so I can keep a ear and one eye on them. The regular traffic light on that intersection turned a 4 way stop with a blinking red light. There was some bullying going on. I failed to realize that it was changed into a 4way. Needless to say I was pulled over by a Travis County precint1 sherif's constable. I had gone to to speak a oris with a proscuter. I decided to fight it by reqesting a trial by jury. They couldnt give me a trial date that day. I was instructed to call bi weekly to find out. Which I did month after month went by. In May 2014 I called and the gentleman on the phone said it wouldnt be til late July but before August. I called again 2 week if June. Still no date..on July 3rd I called. I was told my date was July 2nd @9am. A warnt for familar to appear and my ticket was out. I would need surety cash $500 bond. I am a school bus driver with no summer income. I drive as a last minute fill in for some charter companys but Im luck if I can scrounge it for my 1/2 of rent and utilities. I am behind on July's as it is. My commercial dricer's license is my livelyhood. My route is about to start snoon abs I would like to resolve this without having to go to jail. Or know I would for sure do a walk through. I still would like to fight that ticket but if can get this FTA warrant lifted. Now that I will be working (hopefully). I will be able to make payments. I would like what would be a solution out of this,
