Municipal Court is a subdivision of the 12th Judicial Circuit Court of the State of Missouri and acts as the Court of original jurisdiction in all cases involving violations against the ordinances of the City of Mexico.

Municipal Court

is held in the 3rd Floor Court Room, City Hall, 300 N. Coal on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesday of each month.  Court convenes at 10:00 a.m.

Violations Bureau

Rule 37.49 states that any judge having original jurisdiction of any animal control violation, housing violation, or traffic violation may establish by court order a VIOLATIONS BUREAU. The establishment of a violations bureau allows defendants to dispose of certain violations without a court appearance; i.e., they may waive a trial, enter a plea of guilty and pay the fine and costs through the mail or at the clerk’s office and never have to appear before a judge.

When a Violations Bureau has been established, the judge must issue an order designating which offenses may be handled through the Violations Bureau and list the fine and costs to be imposed for each offense.
