Scam Text Messages — Traffic School Fines:

The court has received reports of individuals receiving text messages claiming they owe outstanding fines related to traffic school matters. If you have completed and paid for traffic school and received a certificate, you do not owe any additional fines. These messages appear to be fraudulent. Do not click any links or provide payment information. If you have questions about your case, please contact the court directly.

Guardianship Orientation

Tulare County Superior Court Rule 1007 requires each proposed guardian to view the educational program provided by the court.  This program provides an overview of the duties of a guardian. The orientation is divided into two sections.  The first section is a PowerPoint presentation that covers the general orientation for all guardians. The second section is a video, “Becoming a Guardian.”

Once you have reviewed the Orientation and video, you will print, sign and file the “Declaration of Completion of Orientation for Guardian.” You will file the signed original and two copies of this declaration in the clerk’s office, and provide one filed-endorsed copy to Family Court Services.
