1. When is my court date?

If you received a ticket, your court date can be found at the bottom of your ticket. Court starts promptly at 9:00 a.m.

If you were arrested, your court date will be the first Wednesday after you were arrested. Court starts promptly at 9:00 a.m.

2. Can I change my court date?

In most circumstances, clerk staff do not have authority to change your court date. If you had a traffic ticket and failed to appear on the date the officer wrote on your ticket, you will receive a notice of a new court date in the mail which will be at least 21 days after your original court date. If you failed to appear on a criminal case (other than Contempt of Court) or on your fines due date, you will receive a show cause order giving you a new date to appear and show cause why you failed to appear.

3. What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, money orders and Visa or MasterCard.

You must appear in court to petition the judge for additional time to pay tickets and court fines.

Pursuant to Section 99-19-3 (2) of the Mississippi Code, we cannot accept a partial payment on a traffic ticket unless you previously appeared in court and were given an extension of time to pay or were placed on a payment plan approved by the judge or prosecutor.

4. Why does my ticket cost so much?
