Important Deadlines & Local Rules

•No dismissal fee, submission-method, or deadline information is published on the official Starr County site for this precinct; call the court directly to confirm before enrolling in a course.
•A third-party (non-official) traffic-ticket directory site lists the same address and a different presiding officer name ('Hon. Ricardo Pena') for this precinct, and states online ticket payment for Starr County is currently not available. The official Starr County website lists the judge as Luis Garcia Jr., so the official listing was used for the judge's name; the 'no online payment' note is retained as it does not conflict with an official source.
