You must appear on the date and time of your citation or summons. The City of San Antonio Municipal Court provides many options to appear before the court depending on your plea or situation.
Payment options include:
Pay a Ticket or Citation
You may visit a kiosk location to speak to a judge via a live video call to resolve your citation. If eligible, you may request deferred disposition (probation) or a driver safety course to have your citation dismissed.
For City Code Administrative Hearing (AH) cases initiated by Development Services, Code Enforcement, or Animal Care Services, you or an authorized representative are expected to appear at the date and time indicated on your citation or summons. If you or your representative fail to appear, a default judgment will be ordered against you.
If you are unable to pay the fine(s) or need additional time to pay you may have the Court assess your ability to pay and the court may provide alternatives (community service, payment plans, etc.) to full payment in satisfying the judgment.
If you were confined in jail or prison after the commission of the offenses listed above, you may be entitled to time served credit toward any fine or costs owed.
