San Antonio Municipal Court (SAMC)

Traffic Tickets

Different ways to settle your Traffic Ticket

 

1. *NEW* Valley View Link Center (located in North San Antonio): A San Antonio Municipal Court Judge is available at this location for your traffic ticket Court appearance. Don't want to go downtown to settle your ticket? Save time and travel! See a Judge at the Valley View Community Link Service Center located at 8523 Blanco Road (Intersection of West Avenue and Blanco).
   
   
2. Video Court Conferencing: Got a ticket and want to save money and time? Visit The Oak Ridge Community Link Service Center to use video conferencing to settle your ticket. 
   
   
3. Settle your Ticket online: Once approved by the San Antonio Municipal Court Judge and you meet the eligible requirements, you may be able to prevent your traffic ticket from appearing on your state driving record by means of Deferred Disposition (sometimes referred to as Probation), or a Driving Safety Course (sometimes referred to as Defensive Driving). 
   
   
4. Municipal Court Online Payment System: If you do not qualify to resolve your ticket online via Deferred Disposition or a Driving Safety Course, you may also pay your traffic ticket online by using our Online Payment System.

                    *If you plan to settle your ticket online using Option 3, DO NOT PAY USING THE SAN ANTONIO MUNICIPAL COURT ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM. This will lead to a conviction on your State Driving Record*

If you cannot settle your traffic ticket using the options listed above, you also have the following options:

• Mail request to the Court. The Court must receive correspondence from you on or before your court date. It is recommended that we receive your letter up to 5 days before your court date.  Mail request to San Antonio Municipal Court located at 401 S Frio, San Antonio, Texas, 78207.
  
• You must appear on your court date at the San Antonio Municipal Court located at 401 S Frio, San Antonio, Texas, 78207.
  
• You may contact us by Email; however, if you do not meet the guidelines above, San Antonio Municipal Court Online can only reply with General Information.
  
  

**Different e-mail providers and virus protection programs may prevent SAMC Online from receiving your e-mail, or may block the response the court sends you.

If the Court has not responded to you after 24 to 48 business hours, you must report to the courthouse on your court date.**
