Municipal Court

The Lake Worth Municipal Court is committed to assisting and informing defendants of their rights, responsibilities and options, with the highest level of professionalism and courtesy, to ensure fair, impartial & efficient handling of their citations.

The Lake Worth Municipal Court is a Court of Record. Cases filed with the Court include traffic violations, Class C misdemeanors, violations of City ordinances, and parking violations that are punishable by fine only.

We are a Safe Harbor Court, which means that anyone may appear in court with an identification at any time to resolve their outstanding cases without the fear of being arrested for Lake Worth Municipal Court warrants.

In March, we participated in a warrant resolution drive along with the Lake Worth Police Department and Texas Marshals Association, which provided an opportunity for eligible individuals with outstanding Lake Worth Municipal Court warrants to have their warrant fine amount reduced. We were able to resolve 86 warrants as of March 25, 2022.

We continue to encourage individuals to contact the court to resolve their outstanding citations and take advantage of payment options available or set your cases for a future court date to speak with the Prosecutor or Judge. If you do not have the means to pay you may request a hearing with the Judge to determine whether you are indigent or discuss alternative means to satisfy the judgment.

The court commits to providing customer service while administering fair, efficient and prompt justice. Clerks are available for questions or explanation of options, but clerks cannot give legal advice or recommendations. Please call 817-255-7910 or visit the court’s website
