Citations/Tickets
Police reports (in person only). Copies of police reports must be retrieved in person at Town Hall, 102 West Watova Street, Monday–Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Town does not email police reports. See Records Request.
There are two basic types of citations and tickets issued by the Talala Police Department.
Ready to pay? If your ticket has a dollar amount printed, you can pay online now.
Tickets marked COURT cannot be paid online — you must appear. See below.
Already paid, or not sure what you owe?
You can check whether a citation still shows as active and what payments made on this website have been applied.
Has a dollar amount printed
Any ticket with a printed dollar amount — regardless of the amount — can be paid online. Paying in full before your court date is entered as a guilty or no-contest plea, and you do not need to appear.
Has the word “COURT” in the box
This type of ticket cannot be paid online. You must appear in court on the date indicated on the ticket.
Request a deferral
You may ask the Court Clerk to review a deferral of your citation — not all citations are eligible, and the Judge of the Talala Municipal Court has the final say.
Citation help
Find your citation number
Your citation number is printed at the top of your ticket, under “Municipal Court.” The sample ticket shows exactly where to find it.
Use the citation number shown on your ticket when paying online or contacting the court clerk.
Examples — where to look on your ticket
Use these sample images to find the box that tells you whether you can pay online or must appear in court.
Reading your citation
Your ticket is a legal document that charges you with a violation of the Municipal Ordinances of the Town of Talala. If you receive a ticket, you are required to take certain actions. The box on the front of the ticket tells you which of the two paths above applies to you.
If you are unsure which type of ticket you have, call the Court Clerk at 918-553-5535 before your court date. Read the full ticket FAQs →
