Dear Residents:
The City of Spring Valley Village is served by its own Municipal Court system. Municipal Court handles traffic matters, Class C Misdemeanors, and violations of City Ordinances. The mission of Municipal Court is to provide a forum for justice to ensure that all citizens served are treated fairly, equally, without regard to race, sex, or religion, and assure them of a fair, impartial and timely disposition of their cases while abiding by all applicable guidelines and laws.
The City is served by a presiding judge and three associate judges, as well as a chief prosecutor and four associate prosecutors. Court is held on the first four Wednesday nights and the first and fourth Thursday nights of each month. On the third Thursday of the month, day Court is held for pretrials and judge trials.
You may be called for jury duty. Jury trials usually last no more than thirty minutes to an hour. On rare occasions, a juror would serve longer than an hour.
The Court has two full-time clerks, and if you have any questions or need any additional information, they can be reached during regular business hours (7:30 am to 4:30 pm) at
713-465-0333. Municipal Court is located inside City Hall at 1025 Campbell Road, Houston, Texas.
