Justice Court Precinct 7's tickets and citations procedures (page last modified June 2, 2026): citations from DPS, the constables, game wardens and the Sheriff are filed with the court, which mails a courtesy notice with payment options, due date and plea instructions; a defendant pleading not guilty must notify the court in writing and specify trial by judge or jury (a not-guilty plea may be changed to payment by contacting the court); a guilty plea is entered by paying in person, online or by mail before the scheduled court date, or by requesting a payment plan; failure to post bond or pay within the appearance date (ten days from filing) results in an arrest warrant; the court will not accept a third party's payment without the defendant's plea; a warrant is not recalled until the next business day after an after-hours online payment; cashier's checks and money orders payable to Justice Court, Precinct 7, personal checks not accepted; juveniles cannot pay online and must pay in the office; a defendant wanting defensive driving or deferred disposition must contact the court before paying online, because an online payment enters a plea of nolo contendere; fine and court-cost amounts are on the county's Class C pro se guide.

G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
