I called the court to see what my options are and clerk stated that since I was in such excess of speed, I have to go to the court date and that she cannot do anything for me over the phone.
I have no problem going to the court, I just wonder if I can ask for deferred adjudication or perhaps another option to where it does not appear on my license? Before this ticket, my license is clean and I would like to keep it that way. I've read online that lawyers are pointless and expensive. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Wish I could help you but instead I'll give you advice that won't help you at all.
Be glad you didn't get pulled over in Virginia. You can go to jail for that here. For reasons beyond my comprehension, anything over 80 mph or anything 20 mph over the posted speed limit, whichever comes first, is reckless driving...which is a misdemeanor here. People can and have gone to jail for that.
Good luck though man.
