*Our office may close early on court dates, which are
usually on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Call to confirm.
**The courtroom is located at the
Police Dept. at 328 S. Main St.**
For questions about
court dates and times or fine amounts, please give us a call or
send us an e-mail and we will be glad to help you!
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.
