First time offender, early this January I went through a yellow light because I couldn't stop in time. Officer said it was red and that I was going faster than I should have, he had a lawyer and I represented myself. Doesn't matter. Pretty sure the judge will take whatever the cop says as true even though he had no evidence.

Okay I know I don't own these apartments I'm about to say but the ones that do they are arriba Santa Fe apartments off of 5200 Blanco road they don't fix nothing is roach infested no installation poor maintenance and trying to throw us out but yet we've been here a year and a half and paid faithfully and they refuse to use their lousy maintenance men it won't fix her shower. On top of that my nice neighbor Martha she's a home provider like I am won't fix her not restroom but carpet how I believe and I've lived on 27 years old I believe every year or every 6 months you fix up the apartments what they don't and that's wrong however these so-called lawnmen no the people in a four he's a man and some people at the bottom they're Honduras and guess what their buddy buddy I think it's something fishy going on and I don't like it the owners are from Chicago and they don't use our benefits they expect us to pay but not pay for the upkeep and I'm saying this because why when you don't do the right thing and tell us personally you got to get out or whatever I just don't even put the whole apartment thing then something's wrong and we need some people to give it somebody that's willing to fix this stuff right or actually be the right management thank you

First time offender, did everything in my power to prove I made a mistake and was working towards righting my wrong. Had the book thrown at me. Found out through my public defender it is all politics, go figure. Only thing I can say is my public defender did his best and did fight for me.
