First ever offense reckless driving charge in TX. LOCATION: Williamson County, Texas

LOCATION: Williamson County, Texas

I'm normally an extremely cautious and careful driver. To the point where others tell me to hurry the fuck up!

But I was driving from Austin to Dallas and then back to Austin in the same night. I was exhausted, and trying to get home and I'm not sure what came over me but I overtook a guy from the left shoulder of the road when I was in the left lane. The cop saw this and flashed her lights and when I checked the rearview the guy in front of me came to an abrupt halt and I had to swerve out of the way into the other lane.

The cop was pissed af, I told her sorry and apologized profusely and told her my gas was low... she booked me for reckless driving and took me to jail.

This is my first ever offense of any kind. I didn't even get a lunch detention before this or anything.

I got the best attorney I could and I paid a service to scrub the internet of any mention of this.

I'm going to try to make sure this doesn't even get to trial.

But I'm very scared I'll get a judge like the cop who was very angry and try to make a lesson out of me and send me to jail... what are the chances of this happening?

Any advice would be very helpful.

And yes... I'll be eternally vigilant from now on. In fact, I won't even drive as I'm moving to NYC to take public transit.
