Helping You Navigate the Court Process

The Aledo Municipal Court handles Class C misdemeanor cases that occur within the city limits, including most traffic citations and City ordinance violations filed by the Aledo Police Department, Code Enforcement and other authorized enforcement officers.

The Court operates as an independent judicial branch of the City and administers cases in accordance with Texas law, ensuring each matter is handled fairly, impartially and consistently.

Whether you need to pay a citation, request a court date, prepare for your hearing or learn about driver's license holds, you'll find those resources in the menu on this page.

If you're unsure where to start, the Municipal Court Clerk's Office is available to answer procedural questions and help direct you to the appropriate resource.

Your Responsibility to Appear for Your Citation
Know Your Exact Appearance Date
You must contact the Court no later than 20 days after receiving your citation.  This is considered your "Appearance Date."  

Citation Payment Information
Please allow at least 3 business days before contacting the Court - this allows time for citations to be processed by our Staff.  Once your citation has been processed, you may pay the fine or request a court date.

Failure to Appear on or Before Your Appearance Date
Failure to contact the court within 20 days of receiving your citation could result in a warrant for your arrest, as well as additional charges for Failure to Appear or Violate Promise to Appear.  A request will be sent to the Texas Department of Public Safety for the denial of your driver's license renewal.
