Court Info – Payment Details

IMPORTANT NOTE: EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2023-  with recent changes to laws that impact traffic related cases, some courts are changing their procedures, and likewise we may have courts that we no longer represent for, or court procedures that impact what our fees are for representation.

Warrant?

Failing to pay your traffic violation can result in a warrant. As the current standard practice for LVJC:

The Las Vegas Township Justice Court will issue arrest warrants for all unpaid traffic tickets. An additional warrant fee of $150 and a late fee of $100 will be added to all tickets that proceed into warrant status. In addition to warrant fees and penalties, all unpaid traffic tickets will be reported to national credit reporting agencies.

CLARK COUNTY,  LAS VEGAS JUSTICE COURT

Did you receive a speeding ticket (NRS 484B.620) while driving on the Summerlin Parkway or while driving on the 95 North? Did you make an unlawful U-Turn in a school zone (NRS 484B.363) in Sunrise Manor? Were you following too closely (NRS 484B.127) in Downtown Las Vegas? Were you ticketed for aggressive driving (NRS 484B.650) on the 215N? These traffic tickets may be handled by Las Vegas Justice Court.

You can check the top and bottom of your traffic violation and it should say the issuing party (Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Metro) and the county and court where the ticket will be handled.  It is important to always check the deadline for appearance, which is typically shown on the bottom of citations. Failure to appear on or resolve before that date can result in a warrant. Some of the more common tickets we see for the Las Vegas Justice Court are for violations like Speeding, Failure to Yield, Failing to Observe Traffic Control Device and Improper Lane Overtake. These types of violations can often be negotiated with the Las Vegas Justice Court via the District Attorney or County Attorney’s office. Some Courts and/or District Attorney’s may have policies in place that disallow such a negotiation, while others may actively welcome it.

Clark County may also have other court jurisdictions, which you can view by visiting our court directory.  Our directory will provide direct links to other courts in various counties. As a courtesy we have provided contact info for forty (40) Justice Courts and sixteen (16) Municipal Courts, payment options, mailing addresses, and other general info for submitting your payments for traffic citations or calling about warrants and other traffic ticket search – lookup needs. “I have a ticket in” and now the answers are easy to find.

Nearby Towns people often receive traffic citations while driving on Charleston Blvd, Town Center or while driving in the Downtown Arts District. Sometimes people who are visiting the Las Vegas Strip receive speeding tickets or citations while traveling to and from their destination while visiting.

Traffic Ticket Searches and Warrant Status, Warrant Search

If you need information or a status of your pending citation or to check to see if you might have a bench warrant, many of the courts have this information accessible online. If an online search link has not been provided for Las Vegas Justice Court, then it is suggested that you call the clerk directly for the status.

Each of Nevada’s counties and its independent city are divided into one or more townships, and each township has a justice court. The justice courts are courts of limited jurisdiction that hear only minor cases; in general, they hear misdemeanor cases (including traffic tickets), and civil cases involving $15,000 or less (including evictions and small claims cases). They may also hold probable cause hearings for felony and gross misdemeanor cases. There are 40 justice courts in the state.
