Request a Hearing

If you received a citation in Irving and want to dispute it or discuss your circumstances, you have the right to request a Pretrial Hearing. Or, you can hire an attorney to represent you.

Pretrial Hearing

If a trial is requested, the defendant will be scheduled for a mandatory Pretrial Hearing. The purpose of the Pretrial Hearing is for the city prosecutor and the defendant to have an opportunity to discuss available options to resolve the case. If the case is still unresolved after the Pretrial Hearing, it will be placed on a court docket for trial (before a judge or jury).


If your case is in warrant status, you must appear in person at the court clerk window to enter a plea of not guilty, and you will also be required to post a cash bond in an amount equal to the balance of the violation.
