Liberty Hill Municipal Court Explains Plea and Payment Options

The City of Liberty Hill's Municipal Court page explains the three plea types and how to enter a plea and pay a citation. It also lists alternatives for people unable to pay fines or court costs in full.

This story describes the linked reporting. It does not confirm that a planned opening, estimated date, or proposed project has since happened.

What to know

A guilty plea admits the act is prohibited by law and leaves no defense or excuse. [1]

A nolo contendere plea does not contest the state's charge; the page says the person will almost certainly be found guilty unless eligible and successfully completing a driving safety course and/or court-ordered probation. [1]

A not guilty plea denies guilt or asserts a defense, and the state must prove its charge. [1]

A guilty or nolo contendere plea can be submitted in writing with payment by mail, in person, online, or by phone. [1]

For people unable to pay in full, the court lists time-payment plans and community service and may hear sworn testimony on financial circumstances. [1]
