Round Rock Traffic Fine Schedule

| Violation | Fine Amount |
|---|---|
| Accident moving violation | $257 |
| Traffic violation (max) | $237 |
| Penal violation (max) | $500 |
| Ordinance violation (max) | $500 |
| Parking -- fire zone | $182 |
| Parking -- other | $102 |

| Construction zone (workers present) | Fine DOUBLED + No DSC eligible |
Construction zone violations with workers present are treated more seriously. The fine is automatically doubled and you are not eligible for a driver safety course dismissal on that type of violation. There is no way around the doubled fine -- it is set by Texas state law for active work zones.
Your Options for a Round Rock Traffic Citation
Standard Texas citation options apply in Round Rock. Here is what you can do when you get a ticket in the city.
Paying in full is the quickest way to close the case. It counts as a conviction and gets reported to the Texas DPS. Points follow. If protecting your record matters, look at other options before you pay.
Deferred disposition is available for eligible violations. You plead guilty or no contest, pay an admin fee, and serve a probation period. If you stay clean during that time, the case is dismissed. Request this option from the clerk before your appearance date. Note that if you get a 30-day extension on your appearance date, you are NOT eligible for deferred disposition -- the extension and deferred cannot be combined.
A driver safety course is another path. Plead guilty or no contest, pay court costs, complete an approved course, and submit your certificate. The case gets dismissed. Not available for construction zone violations with workers present -- that rule is firm.
A 30-day extension gives you more time to decide or arrange payment. You can request it on or before your appearance date, either in person or by submitting the court's Defendant's Request form. Only one extension is allowed per citation. If you use the extension, you lose the deferred disposition option.
You can always plead not guilty and request a trial. A judge hears both sides. This takes longer but is your right under Texas law.
Round Rock Traffic Warrants
Missing your appearance date in Round Rock results in a warrant. Failing to pay after a judgment results in a different type of warrant. Both carry extra costs and can follow you during any law enforcement contact or DPS license renewal.
Contact the clerk's office at 512-218-5480 to ask about your options if a warrant may have been issued. The court may allow you to resolve the warrant by coming in, making a payment, or arranging a plan before law enforcement encounters it.
Do not ignore an outstanding warrant. The longer it sits, the more it costs. Contact the court early to work out a resolution that fits your situation.
