What forms of payment do you accept?
The court will accept cash, money order, or cashier’s check payable to the City of Roman Forest. Please do not mail cash! It is recommended that payment through the mail be sent certified for your tracking purposes. Credit and Debit cards are also acceptable forms of payment that are assessed a processing fee when either calling the clerk and paying over the phone or online at www.govrec.com
May I mail in my payment?
Adults may use certified mail to send payments. Money orders should be payable to the City of Roman Forest. Include a plea of No Contest or Guilty with a copy of your citation. A payment received through the mail without a plea or other indicator will be recorded as a plea of No Contest. Your payment must be received by your appearance date (within 30 days of the violation) to avoid the issuance of an arrest warrant. Mailing address is 2430 Roman Forest Blvd., Roman Forest, Texas 77357
The clerk cannot accept a plea over the phone and a phone call does not constitute as an appearance.
How can I find out how much I owe and the due date?
Visit www.govrec.com - input Texas and Roman Forest. Click on City of Roman Forest. The site will change pages, click on Criminal Search at the top left. Search by Name and DOB or by the Citation number. Follow steps to pay.
Can I call the Municipal Court and find out how many warrants I have outstanding against me in the State of Texas?
Court personnel only have information about the cases filed in the Roman Forest Municipal Court. To find out about other charges, you must contact the court jurisdiction in each specific case. You may utilize the Department of Public Safety’s Failure to Appear website for more information.
If I pay my citation before the court date, do I still need to come to court?
No. If you make disposition of your case(s) prior to your required appearance date, you will NOT need to appear on your court date. It is, however, your responsibility to confirm that you have properly disposed of your case.
Do I have to get a lawyer to go to court?
No. You can represent yourself “pro se” or retain a lawyer to represent you. By law, the Municipal Court is not required to appoint you a lawyer. No one other than a lawyer can represent you. This applies to parents of juveniles and minors.
