| The Shenandoah Municipal Court is located in the City Administration building at 29955 I-45 North on the southbound feeder. The court's responsiblities include: processing all citations that are issued for violations of state law and city ordinances, holding bench and jury trials, issuing warrants, collecting fines, and reporting on a monthly basis to the State of Texas and Shenandoah City Council. Have you received a citation? Check your citation to see when you are scheduled for arraignment. Arraignments are held every other Monday night at 7:00 p.m. You may contact the court if you are unsure of your court date. You may appear before your scheduled arraignment date to enter your plea. Juveniles (under age 17) must have a parent or guardian present with them at all court appearances. It is at this time that you make your plea before the judge and inform him how you wish to handle the citation. 1. Not Guilty - you contest the charge(s) in your case and the State must prove the charges against you. With this plea, you will be given the opportunity to request either a bench trial or a jury trial. Your case will then be reset to the nearest trial date. 2. No Contest - you do not contest the State's charge(s) against you, but do not wish to admit your guilt 3. Guilty - you admit you committed the charge(s) for which you are accused and wish to pay the fine(s) assessed. >> Arraignment Options >> Court Fines >> Municipal Court FAQ (frequently asked questions) |
