Attorney question: need traffic ticket help

I know there was another ticket thread, but I got a different problem. What can be done for a ticket after your 10 day period has passed? The city of Plano seems hell-bent on emptying my wallet. Thanks for any help.

BTW: Don't ever be afraid to get caught speeding in Dallas. Take your ticket, set your court date, show up for court (VERY important! & note that your court date will be about 8-10 months away as they are WAY backed up), the cop will never show up, & Viola! ticket get tossed in the trash can!
