PAYING FOR CITATIONS

Municipal Court cannot process your citation
until the original citation has been received
and filed with the court, which usually takes
one business day from the date it was issued.
You must plea or appear within 10 business
days. If you fail to appear or plea within that
time, a warrant may be issued for your arrest
for Failure to Appear. (All juveniles or recipients
under 21 of any alcohol-related offenses are
required to plea before the Judge in open
court within 10 business days from the citation
issue date and cannot plea by mail). When a
warrant is activated, law enforcement
agencies may arrest you. Please note that an
email or phone inquiry does not constitute an
appearance or plea.

Expect to pay full fines at time of entering your

plea.

There are four ways to pay:+

PLEA OPTIONS
You must plea on or before the tenth business
day after receiving the ticket. You need to
indicate the plea and sign the back of the fine
schedule received with your citation and mail
it to the court, or appear at our court location,
or write a letter indicating your plea.
Remember only the person who received the
ticket can sign the plea form or write the letter
regarding the ticket. You can make your
plea/payment either in person or by mail.

You must speak on your own behalf unless an

attorney represents you. In the State of Texas,
no individual other than the defendant may
enter a plea on behalf of another individual
(except in cases where an attorney is retained.)
This applies to spouses and all other family
members as well. A defendant must enter a
plea on his own behalf either in person or in
writing. Payment received in the mail without
a plea constitutes a plea of "no contest" or
"admit".

If you fail to make a plea on each violation you

have received on or before the tenth business
day, the Court will: Issue a warrant for your
arrest AND file a separate criminal charge of
Failure to Appear-Citation with a fine/state
fees of $269 plus a $50 warrant fee. (Due to
legislation updates, fines and state fees are
subject to change.)
