Justice Court Warrants
Justice Court handles fine-only tickets and Class C misdemeanors — including many traffic citations, not just non-driving matters.
This page helps you check for a Justice Court warrant and understand what to do next.
Who Should Use This Search?
This search is for you if you got a traffic ticket or other fine-only citation from a Justice of the Peace court, missed a fine deadline, or were told you have a "Class C" or "fine-only" charge.
If your ticket was issued by a city police department, it may be a municipal court matter instead — Texas Traffic Warrants is a good place to start if you're not sure.
