Paying Your Traffic Ticket
|
So you got a ticket; taking care of it can be a straightforward process.
The DMV doesn't handle ticket payments or anything other than adding demerit points to your driving record. However, when it comes to points, the DMV will notify you when you accrue three or more points.
You can attend traffic safety school at a DMV-approved provider and remove three points from your record in any 12-month period.
However, you will still need to pay the fine for the ticket(s) that earned you those points.
When you get your ticket from the law enforcement officer, it will have all the pertinent information listed on it, including fees, court dates (if applicable), and contact information for the court that will handle the case.
You should send payment to the county court listed on your ticket; fees will vary by county. Paying the fine means you accept guilt for the cited offense.
You can also contest a ticket, using the contact information listed on it. If you choose to fight the ticket, you will most likely need to appear in court and plead your case in front of a judge.
The DMV has a listing of municipal, district, justice, and juvenile courts for your convenience.
