Just got a citation? Act within 10 days

If you received a ticket in Bruceville-Eddy, you generally must contact the court by the “On or Before” date printed on your citation — usually within about 10 days. Missing that deadline can lead to heavier fines, additional fees, and a warrant. When you contact the court you can ask your options, request a court date, or take care of the ticket.

How to pay a ticket or fine

The court offers several ways to take care of a fine:

Online: pay citations through the court’s online payment system (a convenience fee applies). Have your citation or cause number ready.
In person: at the court office during business hours by cash, check, or money order.
By mail: send payment with your citation number to the court at 143 Wilcox Dr. # A, Eddy, TX 76524.

If you cannot pay the full amount at once, you may qualify for a time-payment plan or, in some cases, community service in place of the fine. Ask the court clerk about eligibility — do this before your due date rather than after.

Your options on a traffic ticket

Pay the fine (this is a plea of no contest/guilty and closes the case).
Plead not guilty and request a trial before the judge.
Driver Safety Course (defensive driving) to dismiss an eligible moving violation. You generally qualify only if you have not taken a course in the last 12 months, do not hold a commercial driver license (CDL), and were not cited in a construction zone with workers present or for greatly exceeding the speed limit. Request this option before your due date.
Deferred disposition — a probation-style option that can keep an offense off your record if you meet the conditions.

Warrants

If a warrant has been issued in your case, you can often resolve it — but you should contact the court first to learn the full amount due and your options. Clearing a warrant promptly helps you avoid arrest and additional costs. Some warrants can be paid online once you have confirmed the amount with the court.

Going to court

Court is held twice a month on Thursdays, and sessions run from about 9:00 AM until court is adjourned (around 11:00 AM). The court has a dress code, and the judge will not hear cases if it is not followed — dress neatly and respectfully. Arrive early, bring your citation and any evidence, and silence your phone.
