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.
