You may request additional time to pay your fine, if necessary. A Request for a Payment Plan (PDF) must be made by the 11th calendar day after the issuance of the citation. However, once you sign the paperwork requesting a Payment Plan, the Judge will sign off on the judgment and the violation will be considered a conviction.
Initial Payment
The Judge requires payment at the time the payment plan is approved. Please call the Court Clerk's Office for further details on the amount of the initial payment needed to start the payment plan, or if there is an issue with providing a down payment at the time of the payment plan request is made.
Balance Due
The Judge requires that any fine balance less than $200 must be paid within 30 days of the date of extension. A fine balance that is more than $200 may be extended for up to 90 days if needed, however down payment must be within 30 days of the date payment plan paperwork is signed.
Time Payment Fee
Any fines not paid within 30 days will have an additional $15 Time Payment Fee added, as required by Texas State Law.
Warrants
Please see the information under Arrest Warrants (PDF) on Payment Plan procedures for warrants. Payment Plans are not permitted on Capias Pro-Fines.

Failure to Comply With Payment Plan

If disposition is not made a Capias Profine will be processed and additional $50 warrant fee will be assessed to your case.
