Driving Probation at Pulaski County District Court
Pulaski County District Court offers a driving probation program for some first-time moving violations. If you qualify, you won't pay a fine right away. Instead, you'll need to attend an approved Defensive Driving School, pay a $100 monitoring fee, pay a $35 driving school attendance fee, and stay free from any moving violations for 6 months. If you meet all the conditions, the charge gets dismissed and won't appear on your driving record.
The probation period is 6 months. If you complete all the requirements, you don't need to appear at the review hearing. But if you fail to comply with any condition, you'll be required to show up in court at the review hearing. At that point, the court may fine you on your original offense. This program is only available for moving violations, not all traffic charges.
To find out if you qualify, check the citation you received or contact Pulaski County District Court directly. You can submit questions by email to dcct@pulaskicounty.net or mail correspondence to Pulaski County District Court, 3001 W. Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, AR 72204. The court also accepts plea submissions by mail and email for violations that don't require a court appearance.
Violations that don't require a court appearance include those where you have current insurance and registration and hold a valid driver's license. If these conditions apply and you want to pursue probation, you can submit your plea to the court and request probation in writing without appearing in person. Read your citation carefully to confirm which category it falls into.
Paying Traffic Fines in Pulaski County
You can pay traffic fines in Pulaski County through the state's online e-Traffic payment portal. Pulaski County District Court participates in this system along with other local courts in the county including Sherwood District Court. You'll need your citation number, first and last name, and either your date of birth or driver's license number to look up your citation online.
Online payments are accepted with Visa, Discover, and MasterCard. Paying your citation online counts as a guilty or no contest plea under Arkansas law. Before paying, think about whether you want to contest the charge or ask about the driving probation program. Once you pay, the matter is generally resolved as a conviction.
You can also pay in person at the clerk's window at any of the Pulaski County district court locations. Mail payments are accepted at 3001 W. Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, AR 72204 with a check or money order made out to the court. Include your citation number and name on any payment you send by mail so it gets applied to the right case.
If you fail to pay or appear in court by your scheduled date, the court may issue a warrant and your driver's license can be suspended. Don't ignore a citation. If you need more time or have questions, contact the relevant court clerk's office before your court date. Courts in Pulaski County generally work with people who reach out ahead of time.
