Texas Traffic Tickets

You may have just been passing through the state of Texas when you were pulled over by a police officer. And since you don't live in the state, you may wonder how to handle Texas traffic tickets. Here's a quick overview:

  • Find out the jurisdiction. You may have been right outside of Fort Worth but stopped by a smaller municipality that has a police department and traffic court. You need to know where to show up for court or mail your fine.
  • If you are from out of state, find out if you can mail the fine in or if you have to appear in court. For minor traffic violations, you may be able to pay the fine and avoid a court appearance.
  • Do you think your ticket was unjust? Consult an attorney who will help you fight the ticket.
  • Finally, never avoid or forget about Texas traffic tickets. If you fail to pay or show up for court, a warrant could be issued for your arrest.

Fast Facts

  • In some cases you may be able to pay your ticket online. Call the clerk of court to see if that is possible.
  • With the exception of seat belt violations and going less than 10 percent over the speed limit, all traffic violations will result in points on your driver's license.
