And there's the rub with any online legal advice that isn't completely generic...if you don't see the ticket, and don't have a thorough understanding of the particulars, nothing you say is really relevant. Not to mention that local and state rules and court systems vary and you'd have to really understand the applicable process and law to say anything intelligently.
At the base level - you have a right to some form of due process at some point...that right can vary, and if it involves administrative law and quasi-Government entities, it's a royal PITA a lot of the time. Read the ticket and appeal through the process sited.
