Dismiss Your Fort Worth Traffic Ticket Online
Most in-city Fort Worth citations land at Fort Worth Municipal Court. Defensive driving — requested before your appearance date — is the standard dismissal path.

Citations from Fort Worth Police inside city limits are usually filed with Fort Worth Municipal Court. Tarrant County constable or DPS citations typically go to a Justice of the Peace court instead. Both honor the defensive driving dismissal path for eligible non-CDL drivers.
The cost of doing nothing
Fort Worth Municipal Court issues warrants for failure to appear — paying late costs more than handling it on time.
Tarrant County has multiple JP precincts. Submitting to the wrong one delays processing.
DFW insurers re-rate aggressively after a single conviction. A dismissed ticket avoids the surcharge entirely.
Where Fort Worth-area citations actually land
Fort Worth Police citations within city limits go to Fort Worth Municipal Court at 1000 Throckmorton St. DPS troopers and Tarrant County constables on highways (I-30, I-20, 360, I-35W, US 287) typically file citations with a Tarrant County JP precinct. Tarrant County has several JP precincts spread across the metro — your citation lists the specific one.
- Fort Worth Police (city-limit stops) → Fort Worth Municipal Court at 1000 Throckmorton St.
- DPS troopers (I-30, I-20, 360, I-35W, US 287) → Tarrant County JP courts.
- Tarrant County constables → Tarrant County JP courts (varies by precinct).
- Citation lists the specific issuing court — verify before submitting.
Multi-precinct submission — getting it right
Tarrant County JP precincts each operate their own online portals and filing systems. Submitting your defensive driving request — or your completed certificate — to the wrong precinct routes you to a dead end and burns your deadline. The citation always names the specific JP precinct (e.g., 'JP Precinct 1, Place 2'). Always submit to that exact precinct, not 'Tarrant County' generically.
