Payment of Citations

There are two types of citations that a CVE Trooper may issue.

Uniform Traffic Citation (UTC)

Uniform Traffic Citations or traffic tickets that are given must be handled within 30 days with the county court clerk’s office where the ticket was received. To handle a ticket visit or call the clerk’s office. In some counties, tickets may be paid online.

To dispute a UTC, you must appear in court in the county where you received ticket. Details for setting a court date should appear on the UTC. If you have any questions about a Uniform Traffic Citation, please call the Clerk of the Court’s Office in the county that you received the ticket.
