Justice Court, Precinct 4 (Denton County) — Compliance Dismissal Requirements ($10-fee dismissals with proof by the appearance date; no-fee dismissals within 10 days of the offense or by the appearance date; required documentation by offense)

Justice Court Precinct 4's compliance-dismissal chart: for the $10-fee offenses (expired license, license restriction, failure to display license or update address, registration insignia and plate offenses, expired registration, defective equipment, window tint, vessel certificate) the defendant submits the listed documentation — renewal proof, affidavits that the defect is corrected and registration was valid, tax-office receipts including the delinquent penalty (within the later of 20 working days or the appearance date), or DPS removal of a restriction — and remits the $10 dismissal fee no later than the appearance date on the ticket; for the no-fee offenses (no insurance, boater and hunting, fishing and trapping license offenses, hunter-education certificate) the documentation or request is submitted within 10 days of the offense or by the appearance date, with insurance agents contacted to verify coverage; the court notes the list is not exhaustive, may change, and is not legal advice.
