Paying Your Fine

You may pay the fine and court costs for the violation(s) you are charged with. Methods of payments are Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, Cashier's Check, money orders, or cash. If paying by credit card, call the municipal court at 940.552.2058.

To pay your fine, you can mail your payment (cashier's check or money order only for the full amount due) or bring your payment to the Municipal Court counter at:
