Fines and Payments

Many adults choose to pay the fine prior to a court appearance. If you would like to do so, please follow the steps below.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUVENILES: If you are under 17 years of ages State law requires that you appear, with a parent or legal guardian, before a judge at your arraignment or at trial prior to paying your fine. Do not mail the fine payment due, until after you appear before a judge. Payments sent for juvenile defendants prior to the juvenile’s appearance in Court will not be accepted.

DPS - Driver's Licenses

If convicted on a charge of "No Driver's license" or "Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility" (no insurance), the Texas Department of Public Safety will add a surcharge to obtain a driver's license.

If convicted of a second charge of FTMFR (no insurance), DPS will suspend your driver's license. For more information on suspensions/revocations, please check the TX DPS web-site: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/driver_licensing_control/pages/faq.htm#suspensions
