Questions about Tarrant County Justice Courts

Is this the same as Fort Worth Municipal Court?

No. A Fort Worth Police ticket goes to the city's Municipal Court. Trooper and sheriff tickets usually go to a Justice Court.

When do I send the driving record?

Precinct 5 asks for the Type 3A record with the request form, not at the end.

I am under 25. Does that change anything?

Precinct 5 says that drivers under 25 with a moving violation must take a driving safety course.
