***SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent Traffic Violation Notices***
We are aware of phishing scams in which individuals receive unsolicited emails or text messages falsely claiming to be from a government agency regarding an outstanding traffic violation or moving violation fine.
Do not click any links or open attachment in these messages. Scammers send these messages indiscriminately - receiving one does not mean you have an actual violation on record.
If you have received a citation and need to verify its legitimacy, contact the issuing court or agency directly using the information printed on your citation, or use the contact information listed on this website.
The Clerk of the District Court plays a vital role in the administration of justice at the county or district level.

The clerk ensures that documents are filed properly, court proceedings are recorded accurately, and legal documents such as summonses, warrants, and court orders are issued and archived according to state laws and court rules.
