Municipal Court

The Village of Volente Municipal Court was established by the Village of Volente City Council in 2005 (Ordinance No. 2005-O-43). In 2023, the Volente Municipal Court became a Court of Record (Ordinance 2023-O-218). The mandate of a municipal court is to provide a neutral, courteous, and fair forum for the trial of all Class C Misdemeanor offenses arising under Texas civil and criminal statutes and city ordinances. The judge of this court is appointed by the Village of Volente City Council to preserve, protect, and defend the United States Constitution, the Texas Constitution and the laws of Texas.

 
The Municipal Court is a Judicial Branch of city government. This Court and its officers are dedicated to the principles of impartiality, fairness, integrity, separation of powers, and judicial independence. These are the principles to which the Court is committed in its role as the Judicial Branch of our local government.
