Before you go: 3 more things to know about this court
  • Each Fort Bend JP court posts its own schedule. Pct 1 Pl 1, Pct 1 Pl 2, Pct 2 Pl 1 and Pct 3 Pl 1 publish one. They are nearly identical, with small differences noted on each row. No schedule page was found for Pct 2 Pl 2, Pct 3 Pl 2 or Pct 4 (Pct 4 says to contact the office to verify the amount due).
  • The schedules head the amount column 'Fine' and do not say whether court costs are included. Amounts like $325 are above the $200 maximum fine for most Class C traffic offenses, so they appear to be fine plus costs. Amounts are recorded as totals. Confirm with the court.
  • No effective date is printed on the schedules. Violations not listed: contact the court.
