Texas Dept. of Public Safety officer pulled me over for doing 75 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. (Night speed limit in Texas). They’re trying to make me pay a fine of $140 for 10MPH over the speed limit

Was pulled for 7 over, given sobriety tests until the sun went down...now twelve over. Went to pay the JP in Hedley (she shares the last name of an American president) who informed me that it wasn't necessary to pay with a money order from the PO across the street. Stupidly, I paid cash. I got a letter from her that even though she'd given me a signed receipt I had "stolen" the cash back off her desk and that if I didn't pay again she'd issue a warrant for my arrest. I payed...again. Contacted the Judicial Misconduct Board in Austin. They said they'd look into it. Never heard back from them.
