Persons paying in cash must remain at the Court window while the payment is being counted. A payment receipt will be issued only if the person tendering payment remains to witness the counting of currency by Court staff. If a person refuses to remain at the window and witness the counting of the currency by Court staff, the currency will be immediately returned.


Community Service

A community service program is also available for persons to discharge their fines by performing work for the City of Wichita Falls or several non-profit organizations. Please address questions regarding community service to the clerk’s office at (940) 761-7880.


Payment Plans

If you need time to pay an outstanding fine, you can mail in a signed plea of either guilty or no contest to each charge, along with $100 initial payment and a completed application for a payment plan.  If the citation is in warrant, the court requires half of the total to be paid upfront for a payment plan through the mail.  This application provides the Court with an understanding of your particular financial circumstances. Payment plan applications are also available in person from the court clerks during normal business hours. Texas law requires that an additional $15.00 finance fee be added to the costs of each citation that is not completely paid in the first 30 days following conviction.
