FINES AND COURT COSTS:

The amount of fine the court assesses is determined by the facts and circumstances of the case. The maximum fine for most municipal court traffic violations is $200 plus court cost; misdemeanor state law violations --$500 plus court costs; for certain city ordinance violations --$2,000 plus court costs; and for other city ordinance violations --$500 plus court costs. 

Per Chapter 51 of the Texas Government Code, the Court is required to collect a $25 fee on each conviction for which "time to pay" is granted. If any part of the total amount of fines, fees, and court costs is paid on or after the 31st day, that time payment fee will be assessed per state statute. 

If a warrant is issued, the fine may increase, and an additional $80 fee is also assessed. 


Payments

You must understand that payment in full of any fine by mail or online at 
www.trafficpayment.com constitutes an admission of guilt and will result in the entry of a conviction against you. Any such convictions will be reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety or to the state from which your driver's license has been issued. 

Juveniles and minors cannot pay their citations by mail or online. All Juveniles are required to appear in open court accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. All Minors are also required to appear in open court with a parent or legal guardian.

Paying Traffic Citations and Warrants Just Got Easier

We are pleased to announce a new convenience for those who receive traffic citations or who have outstanding warrants.  Traffic tickets or warrants can now be paid online quickly and easily. Defendants who are not contesting their violation can pay their fines with a credit or debit card online at www.trafficpayment.com/InvoiceInfo.aspx?csdId=313. Fines can also be paid via telephone at 1-800-444-1187. Bilingual operators are available Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The online process is very easy and takes just a couple of steps. Using the service requires having your citation in hand and completing the required information such as the driver’s license number, the citation number, and the amount of the fine. The fine amounts are listed on this site or call the Court at 817-441-7107 to confirm fine amounts, warrant amounts and other costs. The next step requires completing contact information such as address, telephone number and email address in order to receive a receipt and confirmation number. The process takes just a couple of minutes and only four clicks to complete the payment.

The court is notified as soon as the payment is made. TrafficPayment.com recommends printing a copy of the receipt and keeping it in the glove compartment of the car to have proof of payment.

TrafficPayment.com has been serving Courts in Texas and Oklahoma for over eight years. Located in Plano Texas the company was developed by a college student who received citations while traveling to school from Midland to Lubbock. He wanted to pay his tickets online but no service was available. Now he is serving college students and many others who prefer the ease of paying on the Internet rather than going to the Court.
