What if I was given a citation by a DPS officer or the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office?
If you were given a citation by any officer other than a Kennedale Police officer, it will not be filed in the Kennedale Municipal Court. Sometimes, DPS officers and Kennedale Police officers share jurisdiction. Refer to your citation to verify in which court you need to appear. Both Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Tarrant County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) will have you report to a Justice of the Peace (JP) Court, not a Municipal Court.
