**Attention**
Effective immediately, pursuant to the Texas Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders and Guidance from the Office of Court Administration, all hearings, trials and in-person proceedings have been suspended for the month of January 2021. Defendants who were scheduled for an in person docket or trial will receive notice on when to appear virtually or in person.
Defendants who wish to speak with a Judge may send an email to the Municipal Court at virtualcourt@arlingtontx.gov. A court clerk will respond to your email with a date, time and instructions on how to join the virtual courtroom. Virtual dockets are courtroom settings and defendants are expected to uphold proper decorum in their manner and dress code. These virtual walk in dockets play an important role in ensuring access to the Municipal Court while making every effort to avoid risks to the public health.
Defendants may also utilize our live online court clerk services. Court clerks are not attorneys and will not be able to provide legal advice. Clerks will be available to explain processes and procedures, answer questions, and provide options for handling violations. This program allows defendants to receive many of the same services that they would receive if they were to come to the court in person. Click here for more information on our virtual services.
The City of Arlington Municipal Court remains open to the public and is following the normal business hours of 7:30AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday for court clerk customer services and payments. The Municipal Court continues to enforce strict social distancing and sanitation protocols in all public areas. The Court requires the use of wearing face coverings for individuals entering the building.
Before coming to the Court, you may check the status of your violation by going to https://www.municipalrecordsearch.com/arlingtontx or by calling 817-459-6777.
All individuals are encouraged to review the online services to see what options may be available to resolve your matter(s). Click here for citation payment options. Defendants may also send documents or questions to courtno-reply@arlingtontx.gov. Please provide your name, address, citation number, date of birth and phone number in all emailed correspondence with the Court.
