Court Dockets scheduled for June 4, 2020 are Canceled

In addition to the court dockets scheduled for the month of April and May, the dockets for June 4, 2020 have been canceled. Court staff will be resetting these cases for a future date. Notices will be mailed out promptly notifying those scheduled of the new Court date and time. 

However, this does not include Initial Appearance dates. If you received a citation with an Initial Appearance for April, May or June - you MUST still contact the court for options.

Please feel free to contact the Court staff at 281-489-1229 should you have any questions.

Consequences of Ignoring a Citation
Failure to complete 1 of the 4 options shown above on or before the response date on the front of this citation will result in:
  • A warrant being issued for your arrest at which time the fine amount will be the maximum allowed by law plus court costs and fees.
  • A request to the Texas Department of Public Safety for the denial of driver license renewal.
  • If a warrant for your arrest is issued, you will be subject to arrest at your home, place of business or wherever you may be found.
A telephone call does not constitute a response. Inability to pay this fine is not an excuse for failure to answer.

Juveniles
Juveniles (ages 10-16) must appear in person with a parent or legal guardian for a court hearing. A court appearance is also required for Driving Safety Course or Deferred Disposition. Do not mail the fine.

Special Instructions for Juveniles

  • A violation of the address change requirement may result in arrest and is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by fines up to $500.
