It was only after oncoming traffic flashed on their lights to warn him that he stopped and waited for the first bus to withdraw the sign and start to move that he continued to pass it.
What if he had hit a kid? With school on, motorists are warned to exercise extreme caution. You don't want to make a stupid mistake and hurt or kill a child because you were in a hurry. Regretting it later will do no good.)

The fines for passing a school bus stop sign in Texas can vary depending on the circumstances and the specific laws in place. It's important to note that traffic laws and penalties can change over time, so it's always best to consult the most up-to-date information from reliable sources, such as the Texas Department of Public Safety or local law enforcement agencies.
In Texas, passing a school bus with its stop sign extended and lights flashing is generally considered a serious offense due to the potential danger it poses to children. The penalties for violating this law can include fines, license suspension, and even criminal charges in certain cases. The exact amount of the fine can depend on various factors, including whether it's a first-time offense or a repeat offense, and whether any resulting accidents or injuries occur.
To ensure you have the most accurate and current information regarding fines and penalties for passing a school bus stop sign in Texas, I recommend consulting the latest edition of the Texas Transportation Code or contacting the appropriate law enforcement agency or legal professional. They will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information based on the current laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
Transp. Code Section 545.066

(C)the visual signal is no longer actuated.

(e)If a person does not pay the previously assessed fine or costs on a conviction under this section, or is determined by the court to have insufficient resources or income to pay a fine or costs on a conviction under this section, the court may order the person to perform community service.

what if we had been hit by a giant asteroid?!
You're a fatalist, Montoya - like every Mexican out there.
wher eis the police dept?
Puro pendejo driving around Brownsville. No one makes complete stops. Drivers use shoulders and bike lanes to drive and turn. Passing red lights, speeding, etc. Driving over the school speed limit. Ambulance and Fire Truck passes and no one gives a hoot to move over. You drive obeying the laws and trying to do the right things and they honk at you as if you are in the wrong, when you are actully following the road laws. It's a jungle out there!

The texas governor has defunded the pay for medicare title B which pays for prescription drugs for senior citizens in all Texas. He ran out of funding when he purchased the red ballons and barb wire for el rio grande river. Now all seniors will get a lower social security check, orders from the Texas governor, starting in September.
check it out Juanito...

The city needs to get more police officers in unmarked cars patrolling the schools. This would be a good way of producing more income for the city.

People nowadays don’t give a fuck about the law or civility. Everyone is so preoccupied with they social media , latte’s, smoothie’s and who the Kardashians are screwing. Total disregard for what’s important. That being said, you think a bunch of red lights coming from a huge yellow bus is going to deter them from their selfish ways. Not a chance. But i guess a childs life to these morons is not important.
