I gotta agree with everyone above. If the light was red and whether you stopped or not if you rode through it, you ran it.

The only way I could see you getting it dismissed is if it was one of those lights that isn't timed, but has sensors in the road and you had been waiting for like 10 min and it never changed because it couldn't sense you on your bike. But even then, the judge could ask why you didn't get off the bike and walk (while pushing you bike) across the road.

Edit: If you were in downtown Austin, and it was one of those sensor lights, it probably had a pedestrian button, and if that is the case then you still would have ran it and be guilty.
