Payment Information

There are three ways to pay for your citation: in person, by mail or online. Please note that payment in full constitutes a plea of "no contest" or "guilty" and will result in a reported conviction to the state.

Pay in Person

You may appear at the Court Clerk's Window during the business hours listed on the citation on or before the court date assigned to enter a plea and pay the fine and any costs or fees. Juveniles must appear with a parent or legal guardian on the date assigned by the citation or summons.

The Court Clerk's Window accepts the following forms of payment for non-warrant payments: cash, money order, personal check (pre-printed address only), cashier's check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Diners Club card.

Pay Online

You may enter a plea of "no contest" or "guilty" on or before the court date assigned and pay the fine and costs or fees on this website by completing an online payment form. You can pay with MasterCard, Visa, Discover or Diners Club cards.

Payments to have a person released from jail cannot be made online.

Pay by Mail

Make the cashier's check, personal check or money order out to the City of Farmers Branch (do not mail cash) and mail the citation and payment to:

Farmers Branch Municipal Court
3723 Valley View Lane
Farmers Branch, TX 75244

Mailed payments must be postmarked on or before the court date assigned on the citation. Personal checks are not accepted on warrants.

Payment Plans

The court offers payment plans to defendants who wish to plead no contest or guilty on their citation. Those with cases that have not been delinquent may appear in person at the court clerk's window to begin a payment plan with $100. Payments of $100 are due each month until all the fines and costs are paid. Please note that you must appear to set up your payment plan, and then your payments may be made online from that point forward.

If you need more time to make the first payment, you must appear in court at the scheduled date and time listed on your citation.

Notice

Failure to appear or pay the citation by the court date assigned will incur additional fines, fees and costs. You may be charged with a separate offense of Failure to Appear, which carries a maximum penalty of $500. A warrant will be issued for your arrest, which may result in losing driving and vehicle registration privileges.
