Municipal Court's Mission Statement:
Our mission is to provide a neutral, courteous, and fair forum for the trial of all Class C misdemeanor offenses arising under Texas civil and criminal statutes and city ordinances. The judge of this Court is appointed by the City Council of the City of Beverly Hills to preserve, protect, and defend the United States Constitution, the Texas Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas.
This Court and its officers are dedicated to the principals of impartiality, fairness, integrity, separation of powers, and judicial independence.
The Court Clerk's office is responsible for processing the clerical work of the court, setting trial dockets, collecting court fines and fees, maintaining court records, and performing administrative duties delegated by the Judge.
The court is staffed by a court administrator and a deputy clerk. Clerks are not licensed attorneys and cannot provide legal advice.

NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN ISSUED CITATIONS:
The Municipal Court cannot process your citation until the original citation has been received by the court, which usually takes one business day from the time the citation is issued. You must plea or appear within ten business days. If you fail to appear or plea within that time, a warrant is issued for your arrest for Failure to Appear. (All juveniles or recipients of any alcohol related offenses are required to plea before the Judge in open-court and cannot plea by mail.) Once a warrant is activated, the Beverly Hills Department of Public Safety or any other law enforcement agency may arrest you.
Expect to pay full fines at time of entering your plea.
