Texas.gov Makes Houston Ticket Payment Mobile-Friendly

Pay Houston traffic citations online directly from your phone

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Texas.gov, the official website of the State of Texas, in partnership with the City of Houston, launched an enhanced version of the City’s online ticket payment service – www.texas.gov/COHTicketPay. In addition to a fresh design and plain language content, the online service is now mobile-friendly in response to the pervasive use of mobile devices in today’s society.

The online service guides users through a simple, three-step process to pay tickets online or via a mobile device, such as an iPhone or Android:

• Find your ticket using the ticket number and either your last name or offense date,
• Select the offenses you want to pay, and
• Securely make your payment.

Users also have the option of receiving a confirmation email that contains key transaction details.

City of Houston ticket recipients still have the option of using a desktop computer to pay their fines; and other offline methods, such as payment by mail and in-person at the Municipal Courts Building, are available as well.

If a ticket payment isn’t the only driving business you need to take care of, the Texas.gov/Driver page offers a quick, convenient, and fuel-efficient way to complete other driver-related tasks, including Driver License Renewal, Vehicle Registration Renewal, Driver Record Orders, and much more.

Users can also access Texas.gov on-the-go with iPhone and Android mobile applications. In addition, Texas.gov recently redesigned two other popular services for improved mobile usage - Nursing License Renewals and Fund for Veterans Assistance online donations. And, several more mobile-friendly services are coming soon from the State’s official website.
