Collections would be a warrant for your arrest if you don't do anything about it.
You might be able to go to court and argue your way out of it.
So... I have managed to get myself 2 red light tickets for not coming to a complete stop when making a right hand turn.
Since I do not know if I will be staying in the Dallas area permanently yet is it worth skipping out on the tickets or will they turn it over to collections?

get defensive driving if you can. ticket it wiped and you can send the prof of talking the class to your insurance and get a discount.
Don't know how it works here, but in Lubbock, it wasn't a ticket. It was a civil matter and the city "sued" you for the $75 dollar fine. (the short version) There wasn't really any consequence for not paying. The Lubbock system was kind of goofy though. The city ended up removing the cameras because the public made a big stink about it, and because they were losing money too.

Just got one myself in Coppell. Viewed the video, and I don't think I have much of a case. A $75 check will take care of it...

Don't look...there's nothing down here for you!
I feel your pain. I beat up a couple of grannies, and I think it will be simpler to just move to another town.
If you ran the lights, be a man. Pay the ticket and try to remember the red light means stop.
I think you should just skip payment since you will be leaving town.

Or you could try this and run a few more red lights for fun!

Just for grins, I'd try SPV 360 for my fake plate.

How do you think they'd react if you took a picture of a check and just mailed that in?

Any competent lawyer will be able to get you out of it. My ex-wife has had two redlight tickets in Fort Worth. Both of our names are still on the car and the tickets come to my address. Both times there was no picture of the driver at all. The court has no way to prove who was driving the car in either picture they ever took. All it showed was the car committing the violation and then a pic of the license plate.
Get a lawyer or pay the ticket which ever you think is going to be easiest for you

The govt. will just continue to use these damn things as an easy way to generate revenue as long as we continue to take the easiest path and just pay the ticket. They count on our apathy to line the coffers.
