When You Get A Citation:
If you have not had to post bond at the time of the violation, then you have ten days from the date of the violation to appear at the court clerk's office. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. week days, excepting holidays. When you come in (in person) to the Court Clerk's office, you may pay the fine (or post bond if required), or set a court date to appear for trial at a later time set by the court clerk. If you just need an extension to pay your fine, you must still come in person within the ten days and plead on your case. Then an extension will be written down by the court clerk allowing you the extra time. You will be required to sign this form.
ALL CHARGES NOT TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DUE DATE
ARE SUBJECT TO WARRANTS BEING ISSUED AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES FILED.
Fine and Bond Schedule:
The fines and bonds assessed in out-of-court payments are set by the Municipal Judge. A listing of these can be found here (will open in Adobe® Acrobat Reader™). The maximum punishment that can be assessed by our Court is $500 (plus court costs), and/or 30 days in the County Jail. This maximum punishment has been established for charges of DUI, DUI/APC, DWI, Eluding, Battery on a Police Officer, and Possession of Marijuana or Drugs. The Municipal Judge may assess any fine up to the maximum limit on any charge which is taken to court.
Insurance Citations:
All persons receiving insurance citations must bring in proper proof of insurance to the Court Clerk's office within 48 hours from the date of the citation. We must have an insurance verification form from your insurance company showing the vehicle is covered that you were driving. The insurance must have been valid on the vehicle before the citation was issued. If the citation is dismissed, there will be no charge if it has been taken care of within the 48 hour time limit. After that period, a $25 cost will be assessed.
Warrants:
If you have a warrant for your arrest with the City of Moore, you may call the Warrant Officer, W.T. Shultz, at (405) 793-5039 for further information.
To File a Complaint Against a Person:
Citizens wishing to file complaints against another individual must first file an incident report with the Police Department. The Police Department will review the incident report and decide whether to file State charges in District Court, or Municipal charges in the City of Moore Municipal Court. If State charges are not filed, the City Attorney will review the incident report after being contacted by the victim, and will decide if charges may be filed. Then the complaining witness will need to make an appointment with the City Attorney. If a charge is filed, the complaining witness will be required to post a $40 filing fee.
If the defendant is arrested at the time of the incident, then the complaining witness must sign the complaint at the Police Department and no fee is charged to the complaining witness.
Municipal Court:
Moore Municipal Court is held in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 301 N. Broadway. Court dates are assigned at the time your bond is posted at the Court Clerk's office. You may appear only on your assigned court date; you may speak with the Judge only if you appear on the court docket.
Codes and Ordinances:
A searchable online version of our Codes and Ordinances can be found here. Our traffic laws can be found in Part 15, "Traffic and Vehicles", and our municipal criminal laws are mostly in Part 10, "Offenses and Crimes".
