Traffic


Diversion Program



The Ellis County Attorney's Office has implemented a diversion program for certain traffic infractions.
Eligibility for diversion ultimately rests in the discretion of the Ellis County Attorney's Office.
Meeting the requirements alone does not create a presumption that diversion will be granted.
