The judge dismissed the ticket and she asked why and he said if they don't do something on a law, there can be no law. You'd have laws that were floating around out there for no reason and laws that were supposed to go away that didn't. He said that the way that it works in TX, its suspended until they make a decision on it and put it in the books. So technically, I could cite that as a precedent and get out of it either way.

Then hope you get that same judge! Otherwise, if you get a different one you're not going to be a happy camper!
That particular judge can rule any way he wants, but the state law still stands regardless of whether there is a change proposed or not.
And cite his rulings all you want, it isn't considered "case law" as the ruling isn't by a higher court.
