In the midcities area of Texas differred adjudication will only net you 2

Also, I just had my first cop experience on my new bike.  I bought it two 
weeks ago for $150 and rode it yesterday...Passed a cop at about 150mph!! 
he turned around(he was going the other way) and I droped a gear to zipp 
up to about 170.  Not very safe...scared the SH*T out of me.  Call me a 
weenie, but next time i'm taking the ticket....and slowing down...
