Neither The City of Brownsville nor the City of Brownsville Municipal Court make any guarantees, promises or warranties regarding the accuracy of the information provided on this site. Limitations such as differing names, and/or input errors may not show other pending citations not associated with the citation number, driver's license number, social security number, and date of birth.

If you are paying by the appearance date on your citation, the amount reflected in the system is the standard fine and court costs for that violation.
If you are paying after the appearance due date listed on your citation, the fine amount will have increased because your citation is delinquent. The increased fine amount and court costs will be reflected in the system.
If you have an active warrant, your warrant will not be cleared from the computer database for 2 to 3 business days after you pay the citation online. Please be aware that you could still be arrested after you made your payment online; to prevent this from happening, please print out your receipt and keep it on your person until the Warrant clears.

I hereby understand that in accordance with Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Art. 27.14(c), payment of my citation constitutes a finding of guilty in open court. For online payments, you may plea guilty or no contest (nolo contendere). If you wish to plea not guilty you must appear in person before the court to handle your citations. In addition, in order to pay online, you must agree to waive your right to a trial and your right to an attorney. If you do not understand or agree to the waiver statements, you should appear in person before the court to handle your citations. The conviction will be reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety, if required by law. Be aware that the State of Texas Department of Public Safety assesses surcharges based on convictions.
