Traffic and Misdemeanor Fine Schedules

Traffic Ticket Fine Schedule

Collision Involved?

The general Fine Schedule does not apply to moving violations if you were involved in a collision. If the collision box on the front of your ticket was checked with either yes or blue form, you will have a higher fine. The fine for moving violations involving a collision is: Early fine $277.00, Standard Fine $301.00.

Construction Zone?
If the construction zone box on the front of your ticket is checked, you were cited in a construction zone with workers present. You must call the Court's main number at (512) 974-4800 or visit one of our three locations to obtain fine information.
