El Paso Municipal Courts Are Back In Action

El Paso Municipal Courts have been closed for a while now due to the COVID 19 pandemic. As of today, they are once again open to the public.

El Paso Municipal Courts have been closed to the public for over a month but as of today, they are once again open and operating normally. Many people are still reluctant to visit public areas and/or expose themselves to large numbers of people so, the courts are still offering virtual services as well as conducting "in-person" business.

According to the El Paso Municipal Court website, all Municipal Court locations will open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., while the facility at 9600 Dyer will open from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. All Court locations will provide the following services:

Acceptance of Payments and payment plan requests
Paperwork submission
Requesting driving safety course by right
Video arraignment hearings (except 4801 Osborne and 810 E Overland)
Parking Hearing requests (at 810 E Overland by appointment only).

If you don't want to go to the actual courthouse and just need to make a payment, you can do that online, by phone at (915) 212-0232 or through a drop box located at each Municipal Court location. Due dates for payment plans, community service, and driver safety paperwork have been extended until January 4, 2021. Payments can also be mailed to:
