Municipal Court

The China Grove Municipal Court handles the judicial processing of Class C Misdemeanors that originate from traffic citations, citizen complaints, animal control violations, municipal code violations, and misdemeanor arrests. The Court is responsible for maintaining pertinent case files/records, including arrest records, formal complaints, citation disposals, state reports, court cost records, docket records, trial proceedings, refunds and forfeitures, and warrants for failure to appear and non-payment of fines.

 

The Court is also responsible for reporting court information to the various departments of the State of Texas as well as processing of payments to the State for fines and fees collected by the City as required by State Law.

 

China Grove Municipal Court is a "Court of Record."
