1. Can I pay fines by phone, credit card, or debit card?

Court payments may be made by phone with a debit or credit card by dialing 918.542.6685 and choosing the Court option, then the payment by phone option.  A fee will be charged for processing of the card payment.

2. What does “guilty,” “not guilty,” and “no contest” mean?

• Guilty - To admit to having committed an offense as charged.
• Not Guilty - To state that you did not commit the offense you have been charged with. You will be given a new court date on a disposition docket to discuss your case with the prosecuting attorney.
• No Contest - In the case of a traffic ticket, the legal effect of a “no contest” plea is the same as that of a guilty plea, however, a “no contest” plea may not be used against you as an admission of guilt in any civil suit that may arise.
  

3. Do I get charged court costs if I appear in court?
