Please be aware that by paying online through this service you will be entering a plea of no contest and waiving a jury trial for the charges against you. (Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 27.14 (c) states: In a misdemeanor case for which the maximum possible punishment is by fine only, payment of a fine or an amount accepted by the Court constitutes a finding of guilty in open Court as though a plea of nolo contendere had been entered by the defendant and constitutes a waiver of a jury trial in writing. Your citation will be reported to the Department of Public Safety and may have points and/or surcharges assessed.
