So what I think I'm going to do is let the $50 they charged my card slide (after all, I did, apparently, sign something that gave them the right to charge my card like that) and just not pay the AZ ticket. Now I just have to hope I don't get pulled over when I'm driving through AZ this summer which can probably be avoided by just having my Dad drive the AZ-leg on the way there and f3lix on the way back (you're still coming, right?)

Um, yeah, they can and do mail tickets in Texas. It's common in hit and runs and after traffic accidents. Happens all of the time. A process server never, ever, ever, serves, a ticket. The limitation period is 2 years for the complaint to be issued. Not sure about AZ's rules though.
