36th District Court targets people with outstanding tickets
36th District Court Chief Judge Kenneth J. King conducted show cause hearings Thursday to collect payment of outstanding tickets. Citizens with unpaid tickets are now being ordered to court to “Show Cause” why they have not paid their tickets. Citizens with unpaid tickets will receive a legal notice in the mail (motion and or order to show cause), which requires them to appear in court and to answer under oath regarding their intentional refusal to pay outstanding fines, fees, and costs owed to the 36th District Court. If the citizen does not appear, a contempt order and a bench warrant will be issued for their arrest. Any person who fails to answer a notice to appear in court for a municipal civil infraction is guilty of a misdemeanor.
The 36th District Court began conducting “Show Cause” hearings on March 28. It is only one of several methods developed by the court to collect on the millions of dollars of unpaid tickets.
