Did you know that Mississippi law allows you to prepay a traffic ticket prior to the court date?  The back of your ticket has more information about doing so.  Should you prepay, there is no need to report to court.  This is allowable only for tickets given at the scene without a formal arrest. Some traffic violations require a formal arrest and booking and attendance at arraignment is mandatory. 

 

If you are found (or plead) guilty at court, please come prepared to make a payment the same day!

Protective orders are now available through Municipal Court.  If you are a victim of domestic violence, you can contact the court for more information. These protective orders are only good for a short time but you can get one that lasts longer through Chancery Court or County Court.

 

For more information about domestic violence please visit the AG’s website at http://www.ago.state.ms.us/. You can also find the petition for a protective order though the AG’s office at http://www.ago.state.ms.us/index.php/sections/victims/domestic_violence_legal_forms. If you use their form, please do not sign it until you are in front of the clerk or one of the deputy clerks.

 

 

Municipal Court only has jurisdiction over matters that occur within the city limits.  If you know that an incident occurred in the county, you will need to speak to the Sheriff’s Department or Justice Court at (601) 403-2500 or (601) 749-7700.
