Fort Worth, Arlington, plus eight Tarrant County JP precincts. The dismissal path works the same across all of them.
Free eligibility check · 10 modules · ~6 hours
Tarrant County's court system covers Fort Worth, Arlington, and surrounding DFW cities. Major in-city citations go to Fort Worth Municipal or Arlington Municipal. DPS troopers on I-30, I-20, Highway 360, I-35W, and US 287 file with Tarrant County JP precincts — eight numbered precincts spread across the county.
The cost of doing nothing
Tarrant County's eight JP precincts each have their own filing systems — submitting to the wrong one delays processing.
I-30 between Fort Worth and Arlington carries heavy DPS speeding enforcement.
AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field events bring temporary spikes in citation volume on weekends.
Where Tarrant County citations actually land
- Fort Worth Police citations → Fort Worth Municipal Court at 1000 Throckmorton St.
- Arlington Police citations → Arlington Municipal Court at 101 W Abram St.
- DPS troopers (I-30, I-20, 360, I-35W, US 287) → Tarrant County JP courts.
- Tarrant County constables → Tarrant County JP courts (one of eight precincts).
The eight Tarrant County JP precincts
Tarrant County operates eight numbered Justice of the Peace precincts handling DPS, constable, and certain Sheriff's Office citations. Each precinct has its own portal and filing methods. The citation specifies the precinct.
Stadium-area enforcement (Cowboys, Rangers)
Game-day traffic enforcement around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field increases citation volume on weekends. Most game-day stops are issued by Arlington PD and route to Arlington Municipal — same defensive driving rules apply, but file your request early to beat the post-event docket spike.
