Wrong Info on the Citation

[Flaco]

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Texas. Ok I receive a speeding ticket in city x , buy the officer put the wrong year of model on the citation , is that enough to get it dissmiss ?

You were ticketed, not your car.

I tried that same defense a couple of years ago and the judge didn't buy it. Thankfully I had way better arguments that did get my ticket dismissed: arguments that caused DOUBT in the judge's mind. Try and come up with some arguments like those.

Of course, I live in Washington, so unless Texan judges are more sympathetic to mislabeled car details...

As you said, you're from Washington, so very little, if anything at all, that applies in Washington will apply in Texas. While we're on the subject, and since you brought it up, The judge didn't have to "buy it" on your case. Washington court rules allow for mistakes on tickets that do not substantially prejudice your rights.

(d) Sufficiency. No notice of infraction shall be deemed insufficient for
failure to contain a definite statement of the essential facts constituting the
specific infraction which the defendant is alleged to have committed, nor by
reason of defects, imperfections or omissions which do not tend to prejudice
substantial rights of the defendant.
