The City of Sachse Municipal Court is a court of record.  The Municipal Court is the first level of the judicial branch of government.  The jurisdiction of the Municipal Court includes class C misdemeanors occurring within the territorial limits of the City of Sachse.  The charges processed by the Municipal Court are most often filed by state peace officers, citizens, and a variety of city employees, including but not limited to police, fire, code enforcement and animal control.  Most cases are criminal in nature, but Municipal Courts have limited civil jurisdiction over certain city ordinance violations.  The Municipal Judge also serves as a magistrate of the state and has the authority to issue search warrants, emergency protective orders and arrest warrants.  The mission of the Municipal Court is pre-determined by the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and the Code of Judicial Conduct.  The court and all support personnel shall provide equal and impartial justice under the law and process each case efficiently without delay or unnecessary expense.  In addition, it is the mission of this division to provide a friendly environment responding to the needs of all persons who come in contact with Sachse Municipal Court.

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN IS INTENDED TO BE CONSTRUED AS LEGAL ADVICE

If you have any questions concerning your rights or the laws applicable to your case, you should consult with an attorney before final resolution of your case.  You may have an attorney represent you in court if you desire, however, this is not required.  Most defendants in Municipal Court DO NOT use attorneys.

The law requires that you appear in court on your case.  If you were issued a citation, your appearance is required within the first 10 calendar days following the date of the citation.  This is your deadline date to make your request to have your case set for court.  Your request for a court date must be made in person, by fax or received by mail prior to your deadline date.  Court dates will NOT be set over the phone.  If you have been released on bond, your court date is set on the bond.  Questions regarding your citation should be directed to the court clerk's office at 972-495-1212, ext. 27 or 32.  TELEPHONE CALLS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN APPEARANCE ON YOUR BEHALF.
