To help residents &#8220;keep driving,&#8221; the court will remove the warrant fee(s) from residents who pay their fines in full; officials say this can result in a savings of up to $50 per violation.   Once a resident has paid his or her fines in full, the Municipal Court will remove the hold on the driver\u2019s license renewal so the individual can &#8220;keep driving.&#8221; Holds on driver\u2019s license renewals cannot be removed until all of a driver\u2019s fines are paid in full.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe frequently hear that residents were not aware of the court\u2019s ability to place a hold on their driver\u2019s license and that they need to renew their license right away,\u201d said Court Administrator Cam McCabe.  \u201cThis program will make it easier for them to pay their fines and renew their license.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While all courts in the State of Texas have the ability to place holds on driver\u2019s licenses, this program applies only to fines that are due to the Tyler Municipal Court and does not apply to parking violations or fines totaling less than $200. Drivers can call 1-800-686-0570 to find out if any court in the state has placed a hold on their license.   \u201cEven when paid in full, it can take from seven to 30 days for the hold on the driver\u2019s license to be removed,\u201d added McCabe. \u201cSo those who wait until the last minute may face several weeks of not being able to renew their license.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the \u201cKeep Driving\u201d sweep, the Municipal Court will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6. The Tyler Municipal Court is at 813 N. Broadway Ave., and its regular business hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; In an effort to educate residents about the Tyler Municipal Court\u2019s ability to put a hold on the renewal of driver\u2019s licenses for people who have fines and\/or warrants pending in the court, the Municipal Court will hold a \u201cKeep Driving\u201d sweep beginning Friday and continuing through August 6.
